Mike Tyson refuses to rule out possibility of Francis Ngannou beating Tyson Fury

Mike Tyson has insisted that anything can happen in a boxing fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury.

Power-puncher Ngannou recently announced his intentions to pursue a series of fights in the boxing ring after departing the UFC and vacating his heavyweight title. Throughout last year, 'The Predator' has been heavily linked with a squared circle showdown with WBC champion Fury who is currently trying to become undisputed champion by securing a showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair have already agreed to a set of rules for a potential clash, but it remains unclear if a fight can be officially negotiated despite Ngannou now becoming a free agent. Boxing legend Tyson was included in Fury's recent proposal to Ngannou, insisting that the pair should duel in front of 'Iron' who will feature as a guest referee.
