- Francis Ngannou takes on Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia on October 28
- Ngannou has recruited Mike Tyson as his head coach for his clash with Fury
- Together they ensure that Ngannou can land his ‘greatest weapon’
Francis Ngannou hones his skills with new head coach Mike Tyson to ensure he can land his “biggest weapon” on Tyson Fury during their upcoming crossover clash.
The pair will play a 12-round boxing match under the rules of the Marquess of Queensbury on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It will be Ngannou’s first time ever taking part in a sanctioned boxing fight, but he is confident he can upset the odds against the WBC heavyweight champion.
Known for his one-punch knockout power, Ngannou is used to stopping his opponents quickly in MMA, but is aware that boxing Fury will be a whole different ball game.
‘The Predator’ expects it to be much more difficult to land his neutralizer on Fury, but insists he will stay calm and wait for his moment.

“I know it will be very challenging for me,” said Ngannou Sky Sports news.
“I don’t think I’ll get frustrated because I don’t go there expecting to hit him easily. I know it will be tough, maybe even harder for me than for him because he has a lot of experience.
“I am prepared for that, my mind is ready for that. I have that information, even in my training camp, I’m preparing for someone who is strong, not easy to hit, very well-rounded as a boxer, very durable.”
He added, “It’s about a delivery system. You can have a biggest weapon, but you also have to aim and hit the right target. We are shaping that skill to be able to deliver in the right direction so that we can get the result.”
Tyson, known as “Iron Mike,” recently joined the Cameroonian MMA star at camp and will corner him that night.
‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ is impressed with Ngannou’s skills and believes he has a ‘promising future’ in the sport.
If there’s one man who can help him achieve his signature knockout blow, it’s Tyson, who finished his storied career with 44 of them out of 50 wins.
