Ngannou addressed this matter in a recent interview with DAZN Boxing and made his intentions clear about a possible bout against Tyson Fury.
In the interview, Francis was asked about the possibility of him taking on Tyson Fury. To that, he said,” I do believe that that fight will happen. I think Tyson Fury wants that fight to happen too. So eventually it’ll happen, at some point. I can’t tell specifically when for sure. But, for sure, it’s gonna happen, since we both are willing to make that fight happen.”
Both fighters are extremely powerful heavyweights and are extremely entertaining knockout artists. A fight against Tyson Fury will most likely earn Ngannou more money than he has ever made in a single fight in his professional career. It is very possible that Ngannou will let go of a UFC contract to make this fight happen.
