As contract disputes and legal battles with the UFC deepen, it is pretty clear that Tyson Fury is an ideal option for the Cameroonian champion, Francis Ngannou.

Although Francis Ngannou still speaks skeptically about their MMA gloves-boxing match, ‘The Gypsy King’ is pretty clear how he wants this to go. In a recent interview with ESPN, the Brit opened up on the ‘stand-up punching battle’ he expects against ‘The Predator’.

‘The Gypsy King’ said, “Yeah, he’s definitely a machine, that’s for sure. He’s definitely a good puncher and all that. And let’s face it, it’s not a wrestling match or no grabbing or anything. So, it’s just a stand-up punching battle with small gloves on. He’s got big power and so have I, and whoever lands first will get a knockout.”

“So, I’d be interested with that bout. Like I said, Dillian Whyte’s a much more harder challenge than Francis Ngannou at this moment for me. So, I only focus on Dillian Whyte for the next fight. Which is to be announced very shortly,” Fury added.

Joe Rogan is one of the most respected entities in the combat sports space. Not only is Rogan a great MMA commentator, but he is also a great observer of the sport.

With that said, Rogan wants what’s best for fighters he loves to watch. Hence, he wants the Cameroonian ‘Predator’ to make lots of money in a possible bout against Tyson Fury.
