The Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou match is set for October 28, 2023. Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, is training Ngannou for the bout. Let's find out what Fury had to say about this collaboration!
In a recent interview, Francis Ngannou revealed that three years ago, he approached Mike Tyson for training, and now 'Iron Mike' has fulfilled that request.
Despite not assuming a formal coaching role since retiring from boxing, 'Iron Mike' has chosen to train the MMA fighter due to their longstanding friendship and Ngannou's request.
Interestingly, Tyson Fury, named after Mike Tyson, has made a bold statement concerning 'Kid Dynamite' coaching the Cameroonian-French fighter.
The current heavyweight champion announced his opinion through X (previously Twitter). Fury downplayed Ngannou's training, remarking that it holds no weight in his view whether it's Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, or even Bruce Lee coaching.
He posted, "It’s good to see you training hard @francis_ngannou and you’re going to need to! It doesn’t matter if you’re being trained by the great @MikeTyson, @MuhammadAli or @brucelee
You’re going to get KO’d in the Kingdom 👑🥊🇸🇦
