Mike Tyson Gives a Shocking 3-Word Prediction for Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury Superfight

Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou parted ways with UFC after his contractual negotiation hit a roadblock as his demands proved inconsistent with the promotion’s leash. The heavyweight fighter and the promotion could never resolve their issues while the MMA world awaited the Ngannou-Jones fight in December. After the lengthy negotiations failed, the Cameroonian fighter weighed his options and gladly accepted his free agent label. Since then, the fearsome knockout artist is exploring his options outside the Octagon. And rumors of him realizing his boxing dream have gained traction. Moreover, ‘The Predator’ also dropped a list of 3 possible opponents and left the decision up to the public.

While one of them, former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, resonated back with the intention of fighting the former UFC personnel, another remote possibility involving Tyson Fury couldn’t be discarded either. Notably, ‘The Gypsy King’ might face the MMA fighter if the fight against Oleksandr Usyk doesn’t materialize. A potential mouthwatering fight between the two formidable heavyweights might go either way, as expressed by legendary Mike Tyson.

In a brief interaction with TMZ Sports, the 56-year-old stressed the unpredictable nature of the sports. Further, on being enquired about the possibility of the  17-3 record holder defeating the English boxer, he issued a three-word reply.

Thus, ‘Iron Mike’ said, “Anything is possible.”

Following this, the reporter asked about the chances of him taking an interest in reffing. Sticking to his short and open-ended response, he said, “You never know.”

Subsequently, the reporter pointed out that one of his previous opponents, Roy Jones, accepted a fight against an MMA fighter. Furthermore, they quizzed whether the legendary boxer was open to taking another fight.

However, the ‘Kid Dynamite’ again leaving the door open suggested, “You never know.”

The Xtreme Couture team product last fought at UFC 270 as he successfully defended his title against Ciryl Gane. However, this turned out to be his last outing in the Octagon.
