Ngannou had been talking about fighting ‘The Gypsy King’ for years. Both fighters even traded a lot of verbal jibes at each other. Furthermore, Tyson Fury recently demanded that ‘The Predator’ sign the contract for their potential fight. Now, it seems that the fight will finally become a reality. Moreover, Fury claims that their fight will discover who “The Baddest Motherf***er on the planet” really is.
