Fury takes on Ngannou next weekend in Saudi Arabia with victory ensuring he goes on to fight Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown
Tyson Fury has insisted Francis Ngannou is more dangerous than Oleksandr Usyk - despite having never boxed.
But despite his inexperience, Fury has backed Ngannou to provide a tougher test than Usyk, whom Fury is expected to face as soon as December for the undisputed crown. "A lot of people are on about this undisputed fight, fantastic," Fury told ESPN. "But I have a much more dangerous person to deal with on next Saturday than I do after for the undisputed fight, I believe.
Fury has not fought since knocking out Derek Chisora in their unwanted trilogy fight last December and insisted he was retired after their bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. But he know insists he will fight on - and will sign a 10-fight deal. "I'm looking to sign another 10-fight deal after this, so I don't know, I'm going to put my feelers out there and see who I can get the best deal off for another 10 fights," Fury added.
