Fury last fought against Deontay Wilder on October 9 in 2021. The highly awaited trilogy more than delivered to the hype. That fight went down as one of the best heavyweight fights and trilogies of all time.

Fury came out the victor after knocking Wilder out in the 11th round for the third and final time to hold on to his WBC heavyweight title. Following his fight against ‘The Bronze Bomber’, Fury made his wishes known.

Fury wanted to fight in early 2022, around February or March, come what may. With this latest news of Fury back in the gym, fans are eagerly waiting for the next fight announcement.

Francis Ngannou calls out Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder

The reigning UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou called out ‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ amid contractual disagreements with the UFC. “It’s always been down the line. This is something I’m not taking my eyes off of.”

“It’s gonna happen, either way. Even if, when the UFC and I finalize a deal, the boxing part has to be into it because I can’t see myself retire without boxing,” Ngannou said.

Although Ngannou has been a UFC fighter his entire life, he is one of the most vicious strikers the UFC has ever seen. Ngannou possesses one-punch knockout power and if he can replicate that in boxing gloves, he will be a major problem for anyone in the division.
