Tyson Fury insists he could KO former UFC champion Francis Ngannou "after 15 pints"

Tyson Fury has mocked former UFC champion Francis Ngannou by stating he could knock him out after drinking 15 pints.

Heavyweight champion Fury, 34, got in the ring to tease a crossover fight against Ngannou, 36, after the Brit knocked out Dillian Whyte to defend his world title last April. The fight is now a possibility as Ngannou parted ways with the UFC in January and has since signed with rival MMA promotion PFL, but the Cameroonian is still eager to step foot in the ring.

Ngannou doubled down on his call-out of Fury by uploading a video of himself hitting the speedbag with a caption that read: "Anyway... I'll be ready". Fury didn't take kindly to Ngannou's comment as he reposted the clip on his Instagram account and also wrote: "I'll have 15 pints and still KO you big stiff tramp!"
