Tyson Fury's dad has suggested the champion remains open to a "tasty" encounter in the ring against Francis Ngannou.
Fury is likely to make his next appearance in the ring against unified champion Oleksandr Usyk in a mega-fight for all the marbles this spring. The 'Gypsy King' had a hugely successful year last year defeating Derek Chisora and Dillian Whyte, with former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou turning up at his win over Whyte and stating his claim to a future crossover bout.
The pair had already agreed to stage a heavyweight mixed-rules event during a back and forth on social media, but talks went quiet while Ngannou was embroiled in a contract struggle with the UFC. Now news broke this week that the Cameroon star has departed the UFC and is now a free agent leaving him able to negotiate lucrative boxing outings.
