“Talking Total Bollocks”: Fans Give Harsh Reality Check to Tyson Fury After He Vows to Beat Francis Ngannou in Cage

Months after the announcement, Tyson Fury faced Francis Ngannou at the kickoff press conference in London. Their boxing match will take place in Riyadh on October 28. ‘The Gyspy King’ marks a return to the ring after a gap of nearly ten months—Ngannou debuts as a clear underdog. But Fury believes he will have the upper hand even in the cage. The contention eventually led to the two exchanging words at the venue. As for the fans, most believe that Fury is trying to build a castle in the air.

Calling himself a “fighting world champion,” Tyson Fury wished for the best man to win. However, Francis Ngannou corrected him with “world champion in boxing.” He believed Fury’s skills would be deficient in an overall fight. Disagreeing, the WBC Heavyweight champion said he could defeat the former UFC Heavyweight champion in the cage. He said, “I would kick your a** in a cage, no problem..” For most followers who commented, it was nothing short of wishful thinking.

Squared circle should be fine for now, fans tell Tyson Fury

According to the following user, it’s business as usual for Tyson Fury, spewing complete nonsense. They highlighted that if the current match had been a cage fight, he would have fallen asleep within the first round without any doubt.

This fan believes that for Fury, boxing is all about the spectacle it provides. The low-risk, high-reward format is precisely what he is looking for. However, it would be nice if ‘The Gyspy King’ did all that without clutching onto his belts.

The following fan perhaps finds the entire event a bit dull. He mentioned that exhibition matches conducted by KSI‘s Misfits Promotions instead sound exciting, comparatively.

According to this fan, Tyson Fury would find it challenging to go against a fighter like Darren Till. Hence, facing Francis Ngannou in the cage remains out of the question.

The following user thinks Tyson Fury is misleading the crowd into believing that the match between him and Ngannou has a chance of being competitive. Then he took Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley‘s example and mentioned that ‘The Problem Child’ fought the latter, a former UFC champion when he was no longer with the fight promotions.

It was a big surprise to many when they learned that Mike Tyson had joined Francis Ngannou’s camp. The latter is not expected to turn up the heat on someone like Tyson Fury, who has in the past dispatched heavy hitters like Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte. However, since he has been honing his boxing skills under a legend like Tyson, fans also appear excited and expect a slugfest.
