Tyson Fury has been warned that he will face great difficulties if he takes to the ring to face Francis Ngannou, who has the 'hardest punch in the world'.
Ngannou is keen to land a crossover fight in the boxing ring, as he seeks for a clause allowing him to do so in any fresh contract he signs with UFC.
Fury has also teased fans about the potential of a fight, while Ngannou has recently stated he believes a fight will take place in 2023.
That would see the two heavyweights collide and, while Fury may be considered the favourite due to his boxing experience, Ngannou's manager Marquel Martin believes differently.
He's stated that the Cameroonian has the 'hardest punch in the world', hitting harder than Deontay Wilder, and feels Ngannou can secure a knockout.
"Francis is dangerous for Fury because the best fighter to fight Fury to date is Deontay Wilder. Deontay isn't known for 'sweet science' - he's known for his devastating power," he told Sky Sports.
"With that power, he was able to successfully land some (very hard to do) power shots that put Tyson on the canvas a few times.
"I acknowledge it's very difficult to hit Tyson. However, if Francis was to put together six to 12 months on strictly boxing, I'm confident Francis can learn the mechanics and timing he'd need to land some power shots.
"Now, I have all the respect in the world for Tyson, but Francis hits way harder than Deontay. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.
"Francis' power has been measured and proven and the experts concluded - he has the hardest punch in the world."
