Tyson Fury told next fight opponent would outshine Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor

Tyson Fury has been told that he should face UFC champion Francis Ngannou in his next match-up and that it would do bigger business than Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Conor McGregor. Fury confirmed his intentions to retire from boxing after his knockout victory against Whyte on Saturday night.

Fury put in another outstanding performance on at Wembley Stadium, dominating Whyte throughout the sixth round as he kept the Body Snatcher in his range, working his jab before flooring his opponent with a swift and stunning knockout.

And after the fight, UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou entered the ring, with Fury stating that he wants to fight the Cameroonian in a boxing-MMA crossover fight. Both Fury and Ngannou have stated that they plan to fight each other in what would be the two top heavyweights in boxing and the UFC going head-to-head.
