Tyson Fury is finally going to make his return to the boxing ring after his last fight back in December against Derek Chisora. After a lot of ups and downs throughout the year of fights just not materializing, he is now all set to face Francis Ngannou this October. Even though Fury’s WBC title will not be on the line, the result will certainly be recorded on both fighter’s records. This raises the stakes for both Ngannou, who is making his debut in the sport, and Fury, one of the greatest boxers in the division.
Moreover, ‘The Predator’ is also being trained by the boxing legend Mike Tyson. Though ‘The Gypsy King’ has boldly stated that it doesn’t matter who trains Ngannou, he will end up getting knocked out in the end. Recently, the WBC champion also shared a video of him doing strength training in the gym for the upcoming bout. He shared the clip on Instagram with his millions of followers. In the caption he wrote, “Building Strength Like The British Lion I Am. All Praise Be To God”. He also tagged Ngannou and claimed that he is “inevitable.”
