Tom Aspinall says Tyson Fury asked to help him train for Francis Ngannou, weighs in on boxing match

Tom Aspinall revealed that Tyson Fury had reached out to him to help him prepare for his upcoming fight against Francis Nganuu, and Tom continued saying he would be part of Fury’s training camp against Francis Nganuu.

It looks like Tyson Fury could have some UFC presence in his training camp as he gears up to fight Francis Ngannou this fall.

On Thursday, UFC heavyweight contender Tom Aspinall revealed that he’s been in talks with Fury, and depending on how things shake out for him, he could help the boxing heavyweight champion prepare for Ngannou.

“Yeah, I spoke to him,” Aspinall told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at UFC Fight Night 224 media. “He called me the other day and asked if I would help him to train and stuff. We’ll see how it goes, mate. We’ll see how it all goes. I have a busy schedule myself. We’ll be in touch again after my fight is over with.”

Aspinall (12-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) takes on Marcin Tybura (24-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 224 at The O2 in London. It’s his first fight since knee surgery from an injury sustained last July fighting Curtis Blaydes.

Fury vs. Ngannou is set to go down in Saudi Arabia on Oct. 28 in what is scheduled as a 10-round professional boxing match, but Fury’s WBC title won’t be on the line.

Aspinall won’t rule out a win for Ngannou but sees it highly unlikely he beats Fury, who’s regarded as one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time.

“I think Ngannou has a puncher’s chance, but it’s a very, very, very small puncher’s chance,” Aspinall said. “It’s a very slim chance. As someone who’s sparred Tyson a lot and seen Tyson up close sparring a lot and seeing him fight up close, I think that someone with the inexperience of someone like Francis Ngannou it’s going to be really tough.

“Obviously, he punches like an absolute truck. And if you put Francis Ngannou against anybody and tell him that he’s allowed to punch them, he’s got a chance against anybody. But Tyson Fury is a master at what he does, and it’s going to be a tough night for Ngannou.”

The announcement of the bout came after months of speculation and talk about the nature of the bout. In order for the expected fight to be confirmed in a suitable boxing ring according to the official boxing rules, and an official arbitration framework that includes three side referees using the mandatory 10-point system to determine the winner, and it will be and the duration of the fight will be from 10 to 12 rounds,

Worth noting however, is that Tyson Fury was expected to battle IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in the most important fight to unify the world titles. But a contract was not agreed upon for a difference in the percentages of financial gain from the fight, and Fury will not defend his title in the WBC. Rather, he chose to face Nogano in the fight demanded by the fans on both sides of the boxing and martial arts fanatics.

The fight has been surrounded by media and public momentum for a long time, even before it was officially announced, especially after Angano was released from his contract with the UFC, and began expressing his desire to confront Fury through provocative statements on social networking sites, and the king of gypsies exchanged him for the most exciting character in the world of boxing with a similar lumberjack, so that the fight became one of the most anticipated and most financially successful fights, so that the audience would discover who would be the fiercest among them?

Boxing champion Tyson Fury said: “As soon as the bell rings, the punches will rain like bombs. This guy is supposed to be the strongest boxer in the world, but let’s see how he reacts when the king of gypsies punches him. I’m excited to be in the spotlight again. I look forward to proving to the world that the ‘King of the Roma’ is the greatest fighter of his generation, and you will all see it in a devastating way on October 28. It will be the battle of history,” according to the statement published by Turki Al-Sheikh.

On the other hand, Francis Angano said: “I have been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years. My dream has always been to box, to box the best. Having become the well-deserved MMA Heavyweight Champion, this is my chance to fulfill that dream and cement my place as the fiercest man on Earth. I would like to thank Riyadh Season and my team at 3Point0 Labs for helping organize this event. All I will say to Tyson now is that he better dance in that ring to avoid it because if I punch him, he’ll pass out.”

Predictions are that Tyson Fury will be the victor, due to his sophistication and professionalism in avoiding punches, as you know who followed his career along with his unusual movement style, and his intelligence in the ring so that not many of his competitors were able to break this ability except for Diante Wilder, who wished to reach him, but he was not on the ground for a long time, so Engano has in his hands tremendous strength, but it will not affect Fury.
The match will be held in a boxing ring according to the official boxing rules in the city of Riyadh, after an agreement between Queensberry and Top Rank. We will tell you how to book tickets soon.
