WBC undisputed champion, Tyson Fury, took to social media and sent a clear-cut message to UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou. ‘The Gypsy King’ is circling around the biggest fight of his career against Anthony Joshua in the ring. However, Fury who has a good pulse on the combat sports world as a whole has turned his attention towards Ngannou.

Ever since ‘The Predator’ captured UFC gold for the first time at UFC 260, the combat world has recognized his star power. Francis Ngannou has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with, and he’s got nuclear levels of punching power. However, there’s no questioning Fury’s stand-up prowess, especially after he dismantled Deontay Wilder, a famed power puncher.

Francis Ngannou acknowledged Tyson Fury’s recent call-out and sent a concise response via Twitter. He made it know that a bout against Fury is something that’s up for consideration. However, Ngannou’s priority remains the UFC. He’s keen to scrap against Jon Jones, who is primed for his heavyweight debut, and only then will he look ahead.

Tyson Fury is no stranger to taking on opponents with concussive KO power, with ‘The Bronze Bomber’ being the best example. Ngannou is arguably the hardest hitter in the UFC, contested only by Derrick Lewis, who also has ferocious power. There will definitely be interest in their fight, however, there are currently some logistical issues in making it work.
