Francis Ngannou has been told to avoid a boxing showdown with Tyson Fury as the pair continue to talk up a crossover bout.
The Cameroon star retained his UFC heavyweight title against Cyril Gane at UFC 270 in what could be his final fight under the promotion.
He is expected to open talks over a new deal but is unlikely to accept the terms unless he is allowed to pursue a boxing meeting with Fury alongside his MMA career.
