After Tyson Fury’s win against Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel last month, he expressed interest in fighting the UFC champion Stipe Miocic and top contender Francis Ngannou.
“Who’s the heavyweight champion of the world in the UFC? The American-Croatian, Stipe Miocic. I’ll fight him in a heartbeat, no problem, or Francis Ngannou. Any of the heavyweights they’ve got, I’m not afraid of any of them. I’m the ‘Gypsy King’. I’m a boxer, but I’m one badass motherf****r.” Fury had said following his victory at crown jewel.
Francis Ngannou recently met former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson where the UFC heavyweight was seen taking boxing lessons from Tyson.
