Tyson Fury told he should let Francis Ngannou pick him up during boxing fight

Legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas has suggested Francis Ngannou should be allowed to pick Tyson Fury up during their potential exhibition fight

Fury teased a 'hybrid-rules' fight with Ngannou after knocking out Dillian Whyte in their heavyweight world title fight last weekend. 'The Gypsy King' insisted he was still retiring after the win, but is open to an exhibition fight with UFC champion Ngannou.

Ngannou is out of contract with the UFC and wants a clause in a new contract that will allow him to fight Fury. The Cameroonian, who is recovering from knee surgery, will be free to leave the UFC at the end of this year and thinks a fight with Fury could be made for 2023.
