Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou

Eddie Hearn, in an interview with Boxing Social, stated that, in his opinion, the next opponent Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) will be Francis Ngannou. The Gypsy King will return to the ring in September at Wembley Stadium.

According to the head of Matchroom Boxing, the fight between the WBC heavyweight champion and the former UFC champion will be an exhibition.

Rumors of a possible duel between Fury and Ngannou have been around for a long time, but in a recent interview with SecondsOut, Frank Warren stated that Fury's opponent would be a boxer, not an MMA fighter.
