Francis Ngannou reveals expectation of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk fight ahead of undisputed showdown

Francis Ngannou has given his take on the upcoming undisputed heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

The heavyweights finally collide on February 17th in Saudi Arabia to determine the division’s number one boxer and champion.

One man with an interest in the fight is Francis Ngannou who is still seeking a money-spinning rematch with ‘The Gypsy King’ following his controversial defeat to the Brit in October of last year.

Francis Ngannou will fight Anthony Joshua on March 8 for his second professional boxing fight. Before that, one of the most anticipated fights in heavyweight boxing will take place in mid-February. This is the clash between Tyson Fury and Aleksandr Usyk. The ‘Gipsy King’ is coming off a split decision win over Ngannou after suffering a historic knockdown. Usyk 21-0, for his part, is on a perfect series of four victories at heavyweight, against Derek Chisora, Anthony Joshua (x2) and the latest against Daniel Dubois by KO in the 9th round.

Ngannou’s prediction for Fury vs. Usyk

While he has already launched his fight camp and revealed images of his preparation, the ‘Predator’ recently took part in the Fury vs. Usyk. Here is his prediction via Queensberry Promotions:

“If I have to be objective, I would say that Tyson Fury will win. And if I have to speak for myself, I would say Tyson Fury too. Obviously, I don’t completely rule out Usyk. I know he can win this fight.

He even has a very good chance of doing so. But I would still go for Tyson and I really want to see him win so that we can face each other for our revenge. »

Francis Ngannou therefore hopes that Fury will win against Usyk and then obtain his revenge. For his part, he will have to overcome the solid Anthony Joshua during his fight on March 8 in 10 rounds. The Englishman is determined and considers this opposition as a fight for the title.
