Former UFC champion Michael Bisping warned Tyson Fury about making a significant mistake by underestimating Francis Ngannou. Bisping referenced Fury booking his next fight against Usyk. Fury will fight Francis on October 28 in Saudi Arabia, and Fury plans to stay undefeated.

Fury booked his next fight against Oleksandr Usyk, who has become a dominant force in the heavyweight division. Michael Bisping considered this a pure mockery of an MMA fighter. He stated in his interview that this type of act was very inappropriate towards the opponent and utterly disrespectful. Bisping said on his YouTube channel, “He does not take him seriously; he does not respect the threat of Francis. The former champion thought that Fury did not respect Francis Ngannou. Bisping said, “He’s taking the piss. He doesn’t give him any credit whatsoever.”

Michael Bisping asked why someone would book a new fight before knowing the match’s outcome. Francis might not be a great boxer, but he has formidable power and cannot be underestimated. Ngannou, under Mike Tyson‘s training camp, has the ability to knockout Fury. Let’s see how the former UFC heavyweight champion performs in the boxing ring.

Francis responded to the audience’s view of being underestimated and seen as an amateur. He quoted being rejected by many boxing coaches due to his inability in the sport. Francis said, “The audience doubted me when I made my UFC debut, and I became the champion; the same will happen here.” Then Mike Tyson added, “The pressure on him is massive, but that’s the beauty of the sport—who can survive those 12 rounds?”
