Fury & Ngannou’s Final Words Before Their Showdown This Weekend
Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou had their last press conference before they face off in a ten round heavyweight boxing match in Saudi Arabia this weekend.
Their upcoming October 28th bout has generated much attention, mostly from those who criticized the fight on the basis that rather than face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title, Tyson Fury chose to face an MMA fighter who has never competed in a boxing match. Despite the heavy criticism and the majority of the boxing world feeling that Fury is not taking the fight seriously, fans seem to be interested in the fight as indicated by the reported 100 million plus views their trailer got on social media.
Even though no title will be on the line, both fighters will receive the biggest purses of their respective careers and although Fury is a heavy favorite to come out victorious, there is an expectation for the WBC Heavyweight champ to put on a dominant performance. A win for Ngannou, who has nothing to lose, would be one of the biggest shocks of all time and put Fury’s legacy in jeopardy. Both men and their camps are ready for this crossover bout as evident by their press conference today.
