Francis Ngannou has been advised to face Tyson Fury with 4oz MMA gloves if the pair meet in the boxing ring.
The UFC heavyweight champion has agreed on several occasions to face Fury in an exhibition boxing fight as uncertainty continues to shroud his future with the MMA promotion. Ngannou, 35, climbed into the ring to consent to a potential meeting with Fury face-to-face after the boxing star's victory over Dillian Whyte in April.
Ngannou has expressed his confidence that he could beat Fury, 33, if the pair met in his rival's natural environment. However, UFC middleweight Robert Whittaker does not share this view and claims the WBC heavyweight champion would have little difficulty overcoming the Cameroonian. “I think Tyson Fury would dismantle Ngannou in a boxing fight. I think Tyson Fury is phenomenal. I’m a big fan, by the way,” Whittaker told talkSPORT.
