“The Funeral of HW Boxing”: Fans Left Embarrassed After Tyson Fury Promises to Pummel “The Hardest Puncher in the World”

The WBC world Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, gears up to make his return to the squared circle. However, the fans are not so pleased with his opponent. After much anticipation, Fury would square off against former UFC Heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou on Oct. 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A significant section of the boxing world expresses their resentment for this match-up.

Ngannou has never stepped foot in a ring before and in a few months, he would be making his debut against the undefeated Heavyweight champion. Needless to say, on paper, the bout does not seem competitive. In addition, the fans expected Fury to unify the belts by facing Oleksandr Usyk. This summer, the two were vocal about the matchup which riled up the fans but Fury’s latest announcement leaves the fans in a state of frenzy.

Though it bears mention that the sport of boxing is unpredictable, many tune in to cross-sport bouts because of the underlying sense of curiosity. If Ngannou manages to connect a devastating punch and secure a victory then undoubtedly the bout would go down in history. However, Fury on the other hand, vows to be the aggressor and promises the fans a show. But the fans remain unimpressed and it was evident from their reactions. So, let’s delve into Fury’s comments and the reactions that came up.

This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see when he gets hit by big GK.”
