How Will Injuries Sustained in Francis Ngannou Fight Potentially Affect Tyson Fury’s Undisputed Championship With Oleksandr Usyk? Explained

There are barely three days left for arguably the biggest crossover fight in the history of combat sports – Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury! While Ngannou, a former champion in the UFC and who has had the privilege to train under the wisdom of Mike Tyson hopes to land that one perfect shot that will rob Fury of air, ‘The Gypsy King,’ with his fiery tools and decades of experience believes he will annihilate the mixed martial artist.

For Fury, where begins Ngannou’s boxing journey, there remains the kingdom that he rules. As a result, a potential loss to Ngannou is far from being acceptable to his legacy. At this, as the world observed the making of Fury vs. Ngannou with eager eyes, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world rattled the sport by announcing his upcoming undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Francis Ngannou may end up postponing Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk

Ahead of his upcoming bout with Ngannou, ‘The Gyspsy King’ recently confirmed that he “signed” a deal with Usyk for a match on December 23. On this occasion, besides being excited about the undisputed championship, one could not help but fear how Ngannou might affect Fury’s match with Usyk. While one wishes Fury health, his bout with Usyk might just get postponed if Ngannou injures ‘The Gypsy King’. In that case, the bout will unfortunately take place in only 2024.

However, hoping only the best, one must mention that Fury is confident that he will defeat Ngannou by “pulling no punches“. Hopefully, in this process, the 35-year-old will do what is necessary and leave the fight not seriously harmed. But, if Ngannou lands mean shots and hurts the British boxer, Usyk just might overpower Fury.

Hopefully, Usyk won’t pound an already wounded bird in ‘The Gypsy King’

Although it remains unseen how Usyk will respond to Fury’s boxing, given the Ukrainian boxer’s previous fights, one must acknowledge his power and stamina. Besides having 14 knockouts to his name, the unified heavyweight champion went the distance of 12 rounds seven times. In addition, he has demonstrated fascinating muscle power with his demolishing victories against Tony Bellew and Chazz Witherspoon.

Likewise, if Fury enters the ring injured, Usyk just might pound an already wounded bird. Inflicting pain upon ‘The Gyspy King,’ the Ukrainian can likely win the fight. However, one must also remember that Fury will have his reach and weight advantage against Usyk. In addition to being six inches taller [6’9″] than ‘The Cat,’ Fury is 40lbs heavier than his opponent. With that said, we can only hope that Fury will enter the ring healthy and deliver one of the best performances of his life. Anyway, do you think Ngannou will hurt Fury to the extent that he will lose against Usyk? Let us know in the comments below.
