Tyson Fury's promoter Bob Arum is still eager to make a major crossover fight between his man and UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
Fury and Ngannou are considered the best heavyweights in their respective sports, and having both got broadcast deals with ESPN in America and BT Sport in the UK, there's real potential for a super-fight. The only stumbling block is Ngannou's current knee injury, coupled with the fact that he is currently shackled to an exclusive contract with the MMA promotion.
But he will be able to leave his contract as the champion in January if a new deal isn't made, which looks increasingly likely as every day passes. UFC boss Dana White almost never allows his fighters to work with other promotions, barring a few notable exceptions like Conor McGregor's massive money fight with Floyd Mayweather.
