WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) is fueling interest in a possible fight with UFC Heavyweight Francis Ngannou.

“Mike Tyson, after I finish Joshua, I will fry this guy too. Francis Ngannou is an easy work," Fury tweeted, providing the post with a photo of Mike Tyson and Ngannou.

Ngannou did not pass such a message and published a photo of a bloody Fury in a duel with Otto Wallin: "If this guy did something to you, what do you think I would?"

Tyson Fury is due to return to the ring in July in a four-belt unification fight against Anthony Joshua. The official announcement of this fight is expected shortly.
