Fury explained why he prepared more than usual for the fight with Wilder

WBC heavyweight title holder Tyson Fury stated that before the fight against the MMA fighter Francis Ngannou decided to train longer than usual due to his opponent's unconventional style.

“Francis stepped up and challenged the champion of this millennium, the king of the WBC, so I take my hat off to him. This man can achieve anything he want. Because of this, I'm doing a 12-week training camp instead of what I usually do before fights with opponents like Wilder, Whyte or Chisora.

I'm one hundred percent focused on Francis because he's not a boxer. Ngannou came from a different sport, so I need to prepare longer. He has an awkward style and can throw punches in other directions, so I need to be prepared for that. So I train as hard as I can. I respect him one hundred percent,” Fury was quoted as saying by Boxing Social.

Let us remind you that the Fury-Ngannou fight will take place on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
