Conor McGregor recently confirmed that he will be present to witness the fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury. Moreover, he weighed in on the boxing match which will take place in Saudi Arabia. Also, McGregor pointed out that Mike Tyson’s presence could be an important factor if Fury loses the match.

‘The Notorious’ has been seen attending many fights recently. He still has to wait a few more months before making his UFC comeback and as such, he will have the time to attend other fights. Let’s see what the Irishman had to say about the Ngannou vs. Fury fight.

Conor McGregor believes Mike Tyson could expose Tyson Fury’s weak spot

‘The Notorious’ claimed that Mike Tyson’s style of fighting, which is being adopted by Francis Ngannou, could prove to be a tough test for Tyson Fury. It is because the WBC champion mostly fights by managing the distance of his opponent. “Mike Tyson in the corner, that type of style could be a kryptonite of a long, range-y distance type of fighter in Tyson Fury,” said Conor McGregor. He also claimed that Fury may not want to ease on Francis Ngannou since the former UFC champion possesses enough power to change the outcome of the fight. 

“I don’t think Tyson’s gonna wanna let him test, let Francis test his power on him,” McGregor added. He has no doubts about the fact that Mike Tyson has given some great punching tips to Francis Ngannou as well. McGregor further stated, “Mike Tyson’s given some tips to get inside, to change an angle to bang a shot that clips the top of the temple.” Moreover, the Irishman also believes that Tyson Fury will be full of emotions heading into the fight.

It is not an unknown fact that John Fury named his son after Mike Tyson due to the status of ‘Iron’ in the boxing community. As such, Tyson Fury also followed the same path as Tyson to become one of the best boxers of all time. Conor McGregor said, “To make it an interesting bout, you’d know also Tyson Fury is named after Mike Tyson, former youngest heavyweight champion of all time. Icon of boxing.”

As such, McGregor noted that Tyson Fury could be full of emotions since his idol is coaching his opponent for the fight in Saudi Arabia. This, ‘The Notorious’ believes, will be an important factor in the fight. “Fast forward a few years, Mike Tyson himself is now training a man to beat his [John Fury’s] son. That casts so much emotion into it and adds so much onto it, so much onto the story,” said McGregor.
