Francis Ngannou’s coach, Eric Nicksick, is well aware of the monster challenger the team has on their hands.
Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, will face WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a non-title professional boxing match on Oct. 28 in Saudi Arabia.
Although Nganngou is a top-tier talent in MMA, he will be an unproven debutant in the world of boxing. Nicksick understands what they’re up against, and that’s why he doesn’t think Ngannou can have a traditional approach to this bout.
