“Francis has power,” the Irishman wrote on social media. “He has great knockout power and a puncher’s mentality. With that kind of power, anything can happen.”
“He has Mike Tyson in his corner, whose style can be kryptonite for a boxer like Tyson Fury who prefers to operate at long range. I think Mike has taught Francis how to shorten the distance, change the angle of attack and strike – that makes the upcoming fight even more interesting”
“From my point of view, Francis Ngannou is more of a kickboxer than a mixed martial artist. He’s more of a puncher than an MMA fighter. Like I said, he has a puncher’s mentality and that will help him in the fight. Any man can deliver a punch. Will Francis be able to handle that? I don’t know, but we’ll see very soon.”
The evening of boxing, the main event of which will be a ten-round heavyweight bout, will start at 21:00 Moscow time, and the main actors of the event, tentatively, will enter the ring around 01:00 Moscow time.
