“Miles ahead of everyone”- Tom Aspinall believes Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury is a mismatch

Tom Aspinall doesn’t believe the UFC champion could take on his fellow countryman in a boxing match. Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury have been in talks about putting on a super fight and the rising heavyweight fighter UK believes it would be a mismatch.

Francis Ngannou is the heaviest-hitting heavyweight in the world of MMA and is undoubtedly the scariest man on the planet. However, Tyson Fury, the heavyweight boxer is also one of the scarce technicians in the heavyweight division. Not every day, do you see a boxer like Fury dominate his opponents with swift moments and technique. Tom Aspinall, who is also from the UK can vouch for that.

Tom and Tyson have previously trained together inside the boxing ring and the UFC heavyweight can guarantee that Tyson is many leagues above MMA fighters when it comes to boxing. “I sparred a lot of rounds with Tyson Fury and I know what it’s like to spar him and let me tell you it is not that easy,” said Aspinall talking to TMZ Sports in an interview.

Francis is the current heavyweight champion of the division and there is no doubt that Aspinall rates his colleague. Tom Aspinall himself would fancy fighting Ngannou inside the octagon and getting his hands on the heavyweight title in the future. “You can’t box with someone who has been boxing all their life,” said Aspinall MMA fighters’ aspiration to step into the boxing ring against pros.

“I’m not saying he can’t run the punch and knock him out. Of course, he can but when it comes to the skill level, Tyson Fury’s miles ahead of anybody that I’ve seen with my eyes anyway, so I don’t know. Obviously, when Francis is fighting he’s always got to punch his chance but they are worlds apart in skill level,” said Tom Aspinall in the TMZ interview.

Tyson retired from professional boxing after his win against Dillian Whyte. After his fight, he brought on Ngannou on stage and vowed to fight the UFC heavyweight champ in a super fight to find out who the baddest man on the planet is.
