“Maybe He Should Train This Time”: Tyson Fury Reveals Tentative Timeline for Francis Ngannou Rematch, Sends Fans in Frenzy

The first time around – fans weren’t so excited about Tyson Fury facing an MMA guy. However, after what Francis Ngannou did to ‘The Gypsy King’ during their crossover boxing match, tickets for the rematch will sell by the dozens. Since Ngannou nearly tarnished the Brit’s perfect record, fans and pundits have been relentless about a rematch. So, when Fury revealed his intentions to have a rematch, it left the boxing world in a frenzy.

The online boxing editor for talkSport, Michael Benson, recently turned to X (formerly Twitter), announcing Fury’s intentions for the rematch. “Tyson Fury has already said he wants to rematch Francis Ngannou, according to Frank Warren, who believes there is a “good chance” that happens in 2024,” wrote Benson. When the tweet started circulating on the platform, fans quickly found their way to the comment section, describing their thoughts on the matter. 

Tyson Fury is no longer people’s champion?

Since the tweet went live on X, it has collected over 100K views, nearly 900 hearts, and a boatload of comments. What’s more, if the numbers don’t signify the excitement among fans, the comments people left definitely will.

One user suggested Fury should take the fight seriously this time around and train for the fight.

Another user claimed that even if he fights Ngannou in a rematch, it wouldn’t improve his tarnished reputation. 

Someone else boldly asserted that Fury would not make it past Oleksander Usyk. 

While most people spoke against Fury, this fan claimed Fury beat Ngannou once. So he will do it again. 

The next user claimed after Usyk beats Fury, the latter will retire from the sport. 

While most people are not so confident about Fury’s chances of winning against Usyk, Bob Arum seems confident about Fury’s chances.

Bob Arum believes Fury will fair better against Oleksandr Usyk

Before Fury gets to redeem himself against Ngannou, he has to make it past the Ukrainian heavyweight. Even after Fury’s lackluster performance against Ngannou, Bob Arum thinks Fury would do better against Usyk. While speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Arum suggested nobody had any idea about Ngannou’s skills.

However, when it comes to Usyk, Fury’s team has boatloads of films of Usyk fighting. So, Fury would prepare better and perform better against him. “Fighting Usyk is totally different because they have reams and reams of film on Usyk. I think Tyson will be a lot better prepared against Usyk than he was against Ngannou,” said Arum.

After Fury’s intention to fight Ngannou in a rematch came to light, the boxing world erupted with anticipation and speculation. However, Fury first needs to make it past the undefeated Oleksandr Usyk. Do you think Fury can redeem himself against Ngannou? Do you think Fury will come out victorious against Usyk next year?
