Tyson Fury asked Francis Ngannou about size of his manhood after Dillian Whyte KO

Tyson Fury jokingly asked Francis Ngannou about the size of his manhood during a joint interview in the ring after beating Dillian Whyte.

The 'Gypsy King' successfully made a second defence of his heavyweight crown with victory over British rival Whyte in front of a record 94,000 crowd at Wembley Stadium. After his latest win, UFC star Ngannou entered the ring to continue his pursuit of a crossover boxing match with the pair talking up a showdown next year.

Fury and Ngannou were interviewed in the ring before Fury joked : "He is a good looking lad, have you got a big corey?" Ngannou confusingly responded: "What?" Fury then explained the meaning of his joke by looking down at his shorts which Ngannou also followed by doing with a bemused expression.

The 'Gypsy King' then bellowed with laughter before hugging his opponent who awkwardly smiled and proceeded to congratulate the British star over his statement display.

Ngannou and Fury have verbally agreed to a boxing fight with the pair having initially proposed their own ruleset for a potential bout. Fury plans to retire from boxing after his recent victory over Whyte but is willing to make a u-turn to step in the ring in an exhibition style clash providing Ngannou can negotiate options outside of the UFC.

The Cameroon star remains in his contract with the UFC but has just months remaining and could opt to quit the promotion to pursue a lucrative bout. Fury explained his desire to fight Ngannou even if the event is required to be in a cage to suit the pairs demands.

"This is going to be one very special fight," Fury told ESPN in the ring after his win. "It'll be something never before seen in the history of our sport. We're not talking two guys around 140lb, I'm 270lb, he's 270lb. It's going to be an explosive fight when it happens. I'm the boxing heavyweight champion, he's the UFC heavyweight champion, he's in great shape, look at the muscles on him.

He later added: "He’s on my hit list in an exhibition fight, however he wants it. In a cage, in a boxing ring, boxing gloves, UFC gloves – we can make it happen. I think everyone wants to see it. He’s a monster of a guy, I’m a monster of a guy, so it’ll be a clash of the titans for sure."

Fury has yet to be defeated in the boxing ring which is one of the key reasons why retirement is on his mind. However Ngannou believes he can beat anybody in a crossover fight despite his limited experience. "We have been talking about this going back and forth for like the past two years and I think we are close to getting this on," Ngannou told BT Sport after the fight. "I think I can beat everybody, it won't be an easy fight in the boxing world but I can beat anybody.
