“So Incredibly Disrespectful”: Tyson Fury’s Bold Statement About Mike Tyson Training Francis Ngannou Leaves Combat World Divided

The Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou bout is all set to take place on 28 October 2023. Two legends, Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson, have intertwined in a thrilling narrative. Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, is training Francis Ngannou for a showdown with Tyson Fury. But what’s behind this collaboration? How does Tyson Fury feel about it?

Every punch counts in boxing. The fusion of fighting disciplines sets the stage for an unpredictable showdown. Moreover, in a recent interview, Francis Ngannou confessed how, three years ago, he asked Mike Tyson to train him. Now, three years later, ‘Iron Mike’ has kept his promise. Furthermore, Iron Mike is pretty confident about the former UFC star’s prowess. However, Tyson Fury, named after Mike Tyson himself, recently made a bold statement. His assertion is related to ‘Kid Dynamite’ training the Cameroonian-French fighter.

How are fans reacting to the comment made by Tyson Fury?

In a recent tweet, Tyson Fury showed his confidence. He tweeted saying that it doesn’t matter if Francis is trained by Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee, or even Muhammad Ali. According to Fury, Ngannou needs to train hard as ultimately he will be knocked out by him. However, this statement has left fans with polarized opinions.

Heralding the opinions we first have Patrick McGee who believes that “Mike Tyson training someone, and doing it physically like he did 30 years ago, should make Fury worry. Seriously!”

On the other hand, the following user argues saying, “Only thing wrong about Tyson training him is that the peek a boo style he learned from Cus D’amato is outdated. One hard hook destroys it.”

Meanwhile, Dee Mack emphasized that “MIKE TYSON IS STILL A STRONG FORCE TO EXPERIENCE….I PRAY FOR ANY MAN STEPPING IN THE RING WITH HIM…. EVER.”

However, Cliff expresses concern, stating, “Pure stupidity to throw this man in there with a super elite super experienced highly trained boxer like Tyson Fury smh. Mike, I understand you were one of the greatest but you can’t get in there and fight for him. You’re training him to KO him?? Good luck.”

Finally, Hughs adds a different perspective, suggesting that “Fury should pay royalties to Mike Tyson for presuming to be good enough to use his name. So incredibly disrespectful.”
