Renowned trainer Teddy Atlas said he does not consider the fight for the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury against Francis Ngannou a complete mismatch.
“A lot of people think this is a fight for a check. I think this is a dangerous check fight, very dangerous. Dangerous for a guy who should win easily. This is a boxer, world heavyweight champion, whose name is Tyson Fury. This event is a cross-sport fight like McGregor vs. Mayweather. I remember there was talk about that fight that it would be more competitive than people thought.
Francis can hit, he can put out the lights. He was born with power. If he can get his hand to Fury's chin, he might shake him. Of course, Fury must find his way to victory as an elite boxer. An upset could happen if Tyson doesn't take him seriously. But when you have that kind of power, it cleanses away all your sins,” Atlas said.
Let us remind you that the Fury-Ngannou fight will take place on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
