Top Rank president Todd duBoef is backing Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou to face-off in the boxing ring, urging them to follow in the footsteps of Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather to promote a fight.
The two fighters have spoken publicly about a potential crossover bout in the boxing ring, increasing the likelihood of a future bout.
Ngannou is out of contract with UFC following his upcoming bout and has stated he wants a clause allowing him to fight in the boxing ring if he is to renew - which would be a significant change of approach from UFC.
