Hollywood icon Van Damme was in the town to launch his whiskey brand, Old Oak. Just like everyone, he is also excited about the upcoming fight on Saturday. Van Damme has his own favorite in the fight and feels Tyson Fury will come out victorious. Although Francis Ngannou is a former UFC Champion, he feels Tyson will dominate the fight completely. Tyson has an outstanding professional record and will be tough to get past.
Van Damme shared his admiration for Tyson while speaking to the Mirror. He said, “He’s heavy, he’s six foot six and 340 (pounds). My God and the way he dances like a middle! All I want, I don’t want him to lose. Imagine an unlucky punch. It can happen at that weight. And then all the world of boxing will be disappointed.”
Fury is confident of winning his match against the former UFC world heavyweight champion. He believes he will knock out Ngannou inside six rounds. However, one should not underestimate the Cameroonian fighter.
Ngannou is one of the most dominant athletes in the world. Standing at 6 feet 4, Francis can cause serious damage to Fury if taken lightly. As Fury himself has reiterated, everyone has a puncher’s chance.

The Gypsy King vs The Predator
Both the fighters have the advantage of physical presence and skill. Tyson stands at 6 feet 9 inches while Ngannou stands at 6 feet 4. However, Tyson is currently the best boxer in the world. That said, if he lands correctly, with those sledgehammers for hands, Ngannou could knock out Fury, and end the proverbial war with one swing of the sword. If Ngannou wins, he then becomes boxing’s lineal champion of the world.
If Ngannou manages to pull off this victory, he will be the first to beat Fury inside the boxing ring. The entire world is waiting for this heavyweight clash.
