Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou bout has attracted a lot of criticism,. The WBC heavyweight champion of the world last fought in December of last year against Derek Chisora. However, the fans were eager to see him face Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight title fight. For a brief while, on social media, it was evident that both boxers wanted to face one another and had accepted the terms.

However, the bout eventually fell through because of various factors. Subsequently, ‘The Gypsy King,’ went on to face MMA fighter, Ngannou but the fans were far from pleased with this decision— including former professional boxers Carl Froch and Tony Bellew.

What do Tony Bellew and Carl Froch think of Fury vs. Ngannou?

Back in July this year, when the fight got announced, the former cruiserweight champion gave his two cents on this match-up. He asserted that the fight does not have much value to add to the sport. In addition, he claimed that both combatants are competing against one another for financial incentives. According to Talksport, he stated, “It’s a cash grab from both ends.”

Thereafter, he gave Ngannou no chance of defeating Fury inside the ring and thought that ‘The Gypsy King,’ would win inside a round. He added, “I genuinely believe Tyson Fury, if he chooses to, could get rid of Francis Ngannou in a round.” Meanwhile, Froch shared a similar opinion about the fight as him. A month ago, the 46-year-old boxer asserted that the bout may be a massive spectacle and generate money but he is not interested. This led to a hostile response from Fury.

In an interview with IFLV, Fury claimed that both boxers did not make any substantial money in the sport and that is why they have a disdain for this match-up. In addition, he bragged about his recent deal and asserted that the people in the media use his name to get clicks.

He stated, “See these motherf***ing balls? Lick them bitch. The fact that Bellew and Froch didn’t make any money out of the game is obviously hurtful to them. I’ve just signed the biggest deal in boxing history, which I can’t divulge to you right now.”
