Francis Ngannou will traverse sports when he makes his boxing debut against Tyson Fury. But will ‘The Gypsy King’ face the former UFC heavyweight champion in the cage?

Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou 2 in MMA?
Fury is not opposed to the idea of facing ‘the predator’ in the cage. However, the likelihood of an MMA bout next is unlikely, as the heavyweight champion is slated to face Oleksandr Usyk. But does not disregard the possibility of the future. But he would only grace the cage if he was getting paid a substantial amount of money. He asserts that, for the right price, he would face anybody in any rule set.
In an interview with IFLTv, he stated,
“I signed up for this fight now, so that will be me next. One after this. Yeah, I would it if the money was right. I would fight him and Jon Jones. I’d fight anybody if the money was right. If I’d deemed it would be good money. Enough to risk myself get smashed to pieces then I would do it for sure. I am a prize fighter but if it’s just pathetic money then would I even risk it?”ADVERTISEMENT
