Tyson Fury takes on Francis Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday night
Even Tyson Fury has given up trying to pull the wool over the world's eyes by admitting Francis Ngannou has NO chance of landing a knockout blow on Saturday night.
Ngannou may hold the record for the hardest punch ever registered, but his boxing experience amounts to two amateur bouts in his native Cameroon. He will earn more in tonight's cash grab than he has over a 10-year career in mixed martial arts - and will be able to call on Mike Tyson's wisdom between rounds.
"He couldn't beat me if he had a machete and a nine-millimetre gun in his hands," he said. "How is he going to beat me, please! It's alright me saying this is a 50-50 fight, is it bollocks a 50-50 fight. Usyk will be ringside at the 22,000-capacity makeshift arena in Riyadh with confirmation of his December 23 meeting with Fury expected to follow the final bell. The pair finally reached an agreement to crown the first undisputed champion in the division since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
