Tyson Fury Weighs In on Joshua vs. Ngannou Showdown Amidst Intense Pre-Fight Drama
As the countdown to Friday’s epic heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou draws closer, the boxing world is ablaze with anticipation. With both fighters vying for supremacy in the ring, tensions are running high as fans eagerly await what promises to be a thrilling showdown. But amidst the excitement, one man’s prediction has set tongues wagging and hearts racing.
Tyson Fury, the enigmatic former heavyweight champion, has emerged as a key player in the lead-up to the much-anticipated bout. With his own storied history in the ring and a keen eye for talent, Fury’s opinion carries significant weight within the boxing community. And now, he’s made his thoughts on the Joshua-Ngannou matchup crystal clear.
In a candid interview with DAZN, Fury held nothing back as he assessed the prospects of both fighters. Acknowledging the formidable power possessed by both Joshua and Ngannou, Fury refrained from making a definitive prediction, instead acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the sport. It’s a sentiment echoed by fans and pundits alike, who recognize the explosive potential of Friday’s main event.
he told DAZN, “I think they’re both big strong guys and knockout chaos. Anyone can win it. They’re both big punches, they’re both not very hard to hit, so they both can land a new damage. I’d like to back the former world heavyweight champion but then again, who the f**k am I to say anything? It’s a fight.”
But Fury’s involvement in the pre-fight drama didn’t end there. In a dramatic showdown at a gathering hosted by fight organizer Turki Alalshikh, tensions between Fury and Ngannou reached a boiling point. Accusations flew as Fury confronted his rival, accusing Ngannou of disparaging remarks in the media. The exchange was heated, but ultimately resolved with mutual respect and understanding.
As the clock ticks down to fight night, the stakes have never been higher for Joshua, Ngannou, and the sport of boxing as a whole. With the potential for future title opportunities and lucrative rematches hanging in the balance, Friday’s clash is more than just a fight—it’s a battle for glory, redemption, and legacy.
‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘Predator’. He stated, “Ngannou came in and Tyson pulled him up straight away. He said, ‘Hey you, you’ve been talking about me in interviews, saying I’m a coward, calling me a yellow belly. But Ngannou in fairness was quite cool and calm and went, ‘No I didn’t say that.’ Tyson went, ‘You did. I beat you, I beat you.’”
