Tyson Fury opens up about Francis Ngannou fight after ‘game-changer’ claim

Tyson Fury has fuelled suggestions that he could face former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in his next fight.

Fury has been searching for an opponent since defeating Derek Chisora in December after failing to finalise agreements with both Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. The ‘Gypsy King’ is reportedly targeting a return to the ring in September.

Promoter Frank Warren recently confirmed that the WBC heavyweight champion will not be facing Usyk in an undisputed fight as part of a proposed end-of-year event in Saudi Arabia. It has since been hinted that Fury’s next fight could come against Ngannou and the ‘Gypsy King’ has opened up about the possibility of welcoming ‘The Predator’ to a boxing ring.
