The Ngannou-Fury boxing match will happen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 28, 2023. The fight won’t have Fury’s WBC heavyweight title on the line, but the winner will get a ‘Riyadh Champion’ belt. Indeed, the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou fight is one of 2023’s most anticipated events. However, a new twist has excited the combat sports world, but it looks like Jake Paul has a different reaction.

Recently, Tyson Fury tweeted that he will be fighting Oleksandr Usyk, the unified WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight champion. They will compete for the undisputed heavyweight title. The Fury-Usyk fight is scheduled for Riyadh, potentially on December 23, 2023, or in January 2024. However, the Problem Child’s recent involvement in the Ngannou-Fury-Usyk saga has raised eyebrows from spectators. This is because Paul recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his views about the recent development on the Usyk-Fury bout.

In a recent tweet, Jake Paul said, “So if Francis KOs Tyson, he goes on to face Usyk? Wild.” However, fans have mocked the sudden involvement of Jake in this fight. Moreover, they have responded to his tweet with distinct responses undermining his authority to hold a stance here. Thus, embarking on the spree of censure, a fan skeptically, stated that a knockout against Tyson is unlikely.

Another fan argued that the outcome of the Ngannou fight won’t influence the Usyk bout, except perhaps for the scheduling.

A third fan dismissed concerns about weight classes, jokingly saying that as a “Disney star,” the fighter can do anything.

The mockery just kept getting worse as another user humorously claimed Jake Paul was better than Mike Tyson.

However, one fan was curious about the predictions for his brother’s upcoming fight against Dillon Danis.
