Mike Tyson won't be shocked if Francis Ngannou defeats his name sake Fury.
American former professional boxer Michael Tyson has given an interesting perspective on the heavyweight division.
English professional boxer Tyson Fury has proposed a two-fight deal with Cameroonian-French professional mixed martial artist Francis Ngannou.
Tyson is in negotiations with Ukrainian professional boxer Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed fight.
Usyk holds the IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBO belts while Fury is the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion.
Negotiations are not progressing between the two parties according to reports, hence a fight between Fury and Ngannou is now seen as an alternative.

Mike Tyson on Fury vs Ngannou
Ngannou was recently stripped of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight title.
The predator is now looking forward to starting a career in boxing and has called out the elite in the heavyweight division such as Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Joshua.
Tyson now a commentator on combat sports with a podcast gave his thought on the outcome of a potential fight between Fury and Ngannou.
The former heavyweight champion was asked by TMZ Sports, who would emerge the winner if Fury took on Ngannou and he replied, "Yeah, you never know."

Ngannou has no experience in the ring and would be at a disadvantage to Fury with an extensive amateur boxing background.
The former UFC star has been spotted training with boxing gloves and recently had a heated exchange on social media with Wilder.
Ngannou is expected to make his boxing debut later this year with Wilder and Fury heavy favorites as his opponents.
