Before his fight against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270, Tyson Fury had been having a back and forth with Ngannou. Both men want to fight each other and, in a recent appearance, on The Joe Pomp Show, he was asked about the likeliness of the fight to happen. He said, “How likely? 90 percent. Because I know he want that fight, I want that fight. I’ll do whatever it takes to have that fight.”

He’s definitely a machine – Tyson Fury on Francis Ngannou
Tyson Fury is definitely interested in fighting the UFC heavyweight champion. ‘The Predator’ is one of the hardest punchers in the world and a fight with ‘The Gypsy King‘ will be fascinating.
In a tweet, he suggested a boxing match with MMA gloves. Ngannou responded to it and since then the interest in the matchup has increased. In an interview, he 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. No grabbing or anything, so it’s just a stand-up punching battle with small gloves on.”
“He’s got big power, so have I. Whoever lands first will get knocked out. So, I would be interested in that.”
