The beef between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury has begun to make its presence known to the world. After signing the multimillion-dollar contract with PFL, the former UFC heavyweight champion declared that boxing was still one of the options for him. Thereafter, he named Fury and Deontay Wilder as the opponents he wanted. Soon after that, ‘The Gypsy King’ bashed ‘The Predator’ and asked him to sign the contract.
Recently, Conor McGregor was interviewed at The Black Forge Inn. He was asked about his opinion on who would win if Ngannou and Fury went against each other, both in MMA and in boxing. The ‘Mystic Mac’ was seemingly surprised to hear about Fury stepping into an MMA cage. He claimed that he was excited to see the boxer go ahead.

What happened with Joe Rogan, Jon Jones, and Tyson Fury?
Previously, Joe Rogan expressed that if Fury and Jon Jones were locked in a room, it’d be ‘Bones’ who would be the victor. Weeks after the release of the JRE episode, Fury took to social media and bashed Rogan. He claimed that no one could ever defeat him in a ring.
Soon, Jones decided to defend Rogan and claimed that he could defeat Fury in a single round in MMA. However, he would be an average boxer if he decided to take the fight to the squared ring.
