Tyson Fury calls for Francis Ngannou cage fight involving legend Mike Tyson

Tyson Fury is continuing to call for a 'hybrid fight' against Francis Ngannou - and he wants boxing legend Mike Tyson to be the referee.

Ngannou is now able to compete in the ring after vacating his UFC heavyweight title and parting ways with the promotion. The Cameroonian knockout artist was caught up in a contract battle with the UFC for two years and became a free agent last month when his old deal expired.

Ngannou refused to re-sign with the UFC despite being offered $8million to fight Jon Jones as they wouldn't agree to several of his exclusive requests. Fury teased a crossover fight with Ngannou last April following his knockout win against Dillian Whyte at Wembley.
