John Fury, the father of British WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), does not consider his son’s upcoming fight with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) the most difficult test of his career.
By
opinion Fury father, Tyson should be afraid of another potential opponent: “What does a son need? What does he want from boxing? Test and real challenge. This is what the fight with Francis Ngannou will be like. It is he who is a suitable opponent for such a case. And if they manage to agree, it will be really interesting.”
Why is Ngannou more dangerous than Usyk? John has an answer to this question: “He carries a lot more of a real threat. If I had chosen, I would have stopped at Usyk. Everything is clear with him – ordinary boxing. Tyts-tyts-tyts, then drove to wind circles around the ring. What the hell is the danger here? And if you have a real big guy in your opponents, then this is, consider, a different game. They have something to offer in return. And this is striking power. What is power capable of? Correctly! She’s destroying!”
Last week, Tyson Fury accepted Ngannou’s challenge: “Big fight for the title of the baddest bastard!” But there are those who want to intercept the former UFC champion: Sauerland and KSI want to sign Francis. A potential rival has been named.
