Tyson Fury has confirmed that his upcoming fight with Dillian Whyte will be his last unless he's able to agree a bout with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The two have gone back and forth over the past few months with both making their fighting intentions clear.
However, no fight will happen in 2022 - with Ngannou currently contracted with the UFC although his deal officially expired. After defeating heavyweight sensation Ciryl Gane in January, Ngannou triggered a champions clause in his current deal, meaning he remains on the roster and under contract until he relinquishes the belt.
Ngannou is believed to be happy to remain in the UFC for one more year before hoping to agree a new deal which would allow him to fight Fury, either in the boxing ring or in a UFC octagon. Fury has spoken on multiple occasions about wanting to test himself against the Cameroonian and even publicly challenged him to a boxing-MMA crossover fight.
