Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury will be fighting each other in their heavyweight crossover boxing exhibition fight on October 28. The hyped fight between the former UFC heavyweight champion and the WBC heavyweight champion will happen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The bout is also going to be Francis Ngannou’s professional boxing debut after leaving the UFC and signing with the PFL. Hence, it is quite surprising that his first boxing match will be against one of the greatest undefeated heavyweight champions. Subsequently, the WBC belt will not be at stake since Ngannou is not a typical boxing contender or challenger.

However, Fury’s reputation will be at stake because if he loses this fight, it will ruin his credibility and record. In addition, Ngannou is the underdog in this fight, with Fury having a 13-1 public favor of winning. Furthermore, Ngannou has recruited the legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson for his training camp.

There is no doubt that Ngannou is being trained well by Tyson, but people doubt if it will be enough. Ngannou is known for his devastating power, which can KO opponents easily, and Tyson had the same during his prime. Hence, Tyson’s guidance can help polish Ngannou’s boxing skills and technique by effectively using his power.

However, Fury has been boxing his entire life and has remained undefeated with a record of 33 wins and 1 draw. Hence, Fury has a clear advantage in terms of experience, skills, technique, and fighting IQ.

Fans react to Francis Ngannou’s training video

Most fans and experts, like Stipe Miocic, believe that Ngannou has a chance at winning and shocking the world. However, most of the boxing world believes it is not possible because of Ngannou’s lack of experience in boxing.

If this crossover fight were in MMA, Ngannou would have an advantage, but inside a boxing ring, Fury has a clear advantage. Furthermore, Tyson and many other people feel that Ngannou only needs to land a few blows to win. However, in the past, Fury has defeated Deontay Wilder three times, and Wilder has the most devastating punch in boxing. Subsequently, Wilder became a professional boxer with 43 wins and 42 KOs and was a force to be reckoned with. Fans have reacted to Ngannou training clips with several mixed reactions.

Furthermore, some fans feel that Ngannou has not reached Fury’s level and is not ready to fight him. In addition, some fans noted that Ngannou is lacking in stamina, and Fury will easily outbox and outlast him.
