Alex Pereira has stated former UFC champion Francis Ngannou should avoid Tyson Fury.
Ngannou recently announced his departure from the UFC after failing to agree a new deal with the promotion's president Dana White as he seeks a potential future in the boxing ring. 'The Predator' has been heavily linked with a switch to the squared circle, in particular with a fight against Fury who currently holds the WBC heavyweight title.
It has already been agreed between the pair that they should touch gloves, with both men proposing a set of hybrid rules for the crossover fight. However, UFC champion Pereira, who currently holds the title in the middleweight division, has insisted Ngannou must carefully select his opponents if he is to make himself a career in another sport.
