LONDON – Tyson Fury says he’s willing to fight Francis Ngannou in MMA and boldly declared he’d win.
Despite having a boxing match booked against the former UFC heavyweight champion, Fury is more than willing to switch things up after their Oct. 28 showdown in Saudi Arabia and step into the cage. Fury believes he can beat Ngannou under both disciplines and at least said he’d love to show that.
“I think I can beat you in the cage,” Fury told Ngannou directly during their kickoff news conference on Thursday. “I would kick your ass in the cage, no problem, 100 percent, 100 percent. I’ll personally beat you in the boxing ring and kick your ass in the cage. One hundred percent, I’ll beat you at boxing, and then I’ll beat you in the cage, no problem. … I’ll best him at boxing and then beat him in a cagefight, no two ways about it.”
