UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou considers it more than likely to fight against the current world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, who successfully defended his title in a fight with Dillian Whyte on April 23 and announced his retirement from boxing.
Francis himself is now recovering from an injury.
“Obviously we both want this fight and we respect each other,” Ngannou says. “Maybe it will happen next year. I think there will be a fight, it all depends on our promoters, but at a certain stage we will come to a common denominator.
“The idea is to arrange a fight according to mixed rules. Something that would make it a little less comfortable for him as a boxer. Like fighting with MMA gloves or barefoot. I don’t know, this is yet to be dealt with. I would say that there is somewhere around 70% that Tyson Fury will be my next opponent. On his part, I would say the figure is 90%,” said Francis.
In the meantime, it became known that this year Fury could perform twice in the WWE.
