Mike Tyson will train Francis Ngannou to beat Tyson Fury.
For a very long time, Francis Ngannou dreamed of fighting Tyson Fury in boxing, and now that dream is getting closer to reality.
The non-title boxing battle, which is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on October 28, will feature legendary boxing star Mike Tyson as the head trainer for the former UFC heavyweight champion.
After Oleksandr Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua twice, the boxing community was eager to see Tyson Fury challenge him for the undisputed heavyweight title.
After a few weeks of talks, there was no agreement between the two parties.
In December 2022, Fury faced Dereck Chisora, and in the 10th round, he won by technical knockout to retain his WBC heavyweight title.
At UFC 270 in January 2022, Ngannou defeated Cyril Gane by unanimous decision.
Mike Tyson to train Francis Ngannou
Ngannou has been in the United States of America (USA) teaming up with Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Iron Mike said that he is looking forward to a matchup with two of the most feared athletes in the world.
Ngannou, who has been honing his boxing abilities but has spent his entire career in the MMA world, will be likely to lose to Fury.
