Tyson Fury Will “Break” Your Career: UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre Warns Francis Ngannou

Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, two of the world’s baddest men, are nothing short of a freak of nature. The two heavyweights are so similar, yet so distinctive in their own ways. Arguably the greatest of all time in the world of MMA, Georges St-Pierre talked about the two heavyweights in an interview. 

On the one hand, we have Tyson Fury, a world heavyweight champion in boxing with the highest skill level in the sport. On the other, we have an absolute freak of nature in Francis Ngannou, who is considered one of the hardest punching fighters in MMA. 

A potential matchup between these two fighters has been discussed for a while now. Considered a cross-discipline super fight, these two fighters would be showcasing a clash of gargantuan titans for years to come. 

In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Georges St-Pierre talked about paychecks for both fighters and how a fight between these two individuals would play out. This is what the ‘GSP‘ had to say regarding this topic. 

“I think he deserved it. He deserved that kind of money. Millions of dollars but, deep down, inside, because he’s such an incredible talent in MMA, I’m afraid that if he goes to boxing, against Tyson Fury, yes, he’s gonna make one shot with a lot of money, but it’s not, he’s a specialist of mixed martial art.” 

He continued, “Tyson Fury has at box all his life, so I would, the odds will go towards Tyson Fury in a boxing match. Of course, in an MMA fight, they will never fight in MMA because Francis will crush him under 30 seconds.”

Georges St-Pierre on Francis Ngannou making or breaking his career 

GSP exited MMA at the top of the sport. After an incredible and entertaining career, the man walked away with top marks. Because of this, GSP feels that Ngannou would be better off in the UFC doing MMA as of now. 

“But I’m just afraid that if you step into boxing maybe, he’s gonna get, you know, that the punch and stuff sometimes he can change. It, he can break a career. You know what I mean? So if I would be him, I would tend to fight in MMA as long as I am not tired of doing it. And when he’s at the end of his career, what if you want to do a boxing fight? Why not? But it’s up to him, you know?” – said ‘Rush.’

GSP loosely believes that Ngannou is better off having a super boxing fight for later on. This is specifically at the end of his MMA career to make a colossal paycheck. However, he gave Ngannou the benefit of the doubt. GSP believes that if it were to come to it, the chances are that Ngannou could knock Fury out as well.
