WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury shared his expectations from the fight with the mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou, comparing it to a football match between Liverpool and Manchester United.
Let us remind you that in March this year, the Merseysiders defeated Manchester United with a score of 7:0.
“The biggest risk is boxing an MMA fighter. I am a world champion in heavyweight. What will happen if he defeats me? They will make fun of you. It would be like Manchester United losing the match with Liverpool with a score of 0:7,” Fury said in a conversation with former Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand.
Let us remind you that the fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
