WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury said he expects to fight the "king" of the UFC heavyweight division Francis Ngannou at the beginning of next year.

“I will fight Francis in Las Vegas next year in March or February. We didn't have any talks this year because I have things to do in boxing, but next year we might have some crazy fights.

This is a huge fight - I believe it will break all US pay-per-view sales records. Two heavyweight champions will come face to face, ”said the Briton in an interview with IFL TV.

Fury is expected to make his mandatory title defense against Dillian Whyte on April 23.
