Watch: Tyson Fury Dismantle the Mitts Amid Rumors of Superfight With Francis Ngannou

Tyson Fury has been out of the ring for so long, that fans are getting disheartened by his absence. He concluded his trilogy fight against ‘Del Boy’ Derek Chisora and had a face-off against Oleksandr Usyk. Fans were filled with anticipation for the bout, however, sadly the fight never materialized leaving them disappointed. Ever since then, Fury has been looking for another fight, however, he has been unsuccessful in his efforts to make another fight happen.

This hope was further dashed after Frank Warren recently revealed that there will be no ‘December bout’. He revealed that Amer Abdallah of Skill Challenge told him that the event is likely to take place next year. However, Fury’s fans may have some hope of seeing ‘The Gypsy King’ return to the ring once again this year. This fight will be against none other than, the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. And as the rumors started appearing, perhaps as a sign of confirmation, Fury has also started to ‘hit the gym’.

Tyson Fury trains amid fight rumors

Recently, Fury has taken to Instagram to show off his training in the gym. The British boxer even shared a video of him doing the mitt drills. In the caption he wrote, “Workout in the life of Tyson fury, On top of the world 2023 @wbcboxing  @frank_warren_official @toprank @espn @netflixuk Number 1 Blessed by God in Jesus name.” It appears that the heavyweight champion has shared the video with his fans to give them a glimpse into his training life. His message resonates with his previous one where he attributed all his success to god.

However, that was not all, he also shared some videos on his Story, sharing his workout plan for the day. In one video, he shared that he was looking forward to doing “12 rounds of boxing, heavy bag, pad works, water bag, abs, stretching, shower.” He also shared that he was getting ready to do “Netflix interview for the ‘At Home with the Furys’”. Reportedly, the show is going to air this year. He also teased, “Big news coming guys! Cannot wait! Cannot wait!”.

Moreover, he also shared a session of his shadow boxing. He had a lot of captions over the video, some of them read- “The king of boxing”, “undefeated 15 years”, “35 next month & still on fire”, “All the way to the bank” and “come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough”. Overall, Fury looked absolutely pumped up as he shared his training session with his fans.

Eddie Hearn reveals surprising news about the potential Fury-Ngannou bout

Recently, boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn revealed that Tyson Fury may step in the ring against Francis Ngannou. However, it is not so surprising as the duo has been going back and forth for a while now. In fact, ‘The Predator’ even did a face-off against the undefeated boxer after his victory against Dillian Whyte. The former UFC champion has been looking to begin his boxing career after leaving the UFC. Furthermore, the MMA fighter has also been in talks with Deontay Wilder over a potential bout. However, it seems he may end up facing the undefeated boxer after all.

In a recent interview with Boxing Social, Hearn appeared positive towards the bout. However, contrary to the expectation the fight could be an exhibition. In his words, “This is what I’ve heard. It’ll be an exhibition, apparently. No knockdowns or anything. I’m only telling you what I’ve heard, who knows what’s what, but I think that is apparently what is going to be the next fight”.
