“I warned everyone about Francis’ left hook,” said Mike Tyson, more or less helped Francis Ngannou good advice when preparing for a fight with Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs). Ultimately, the former UFC champion lost on points to the WBC heavyweight champion, but in the third round he sent the champion to the floor with a left hook.
“I started to believe in success when I saw how he knocked out his opponent during sparring. He hit him so hard that he injured his leg. I'm proud of his attitude towards training. He listened carefully to every word, and I knew that if he landed a left hook, he would knock everyone down. And I was right. The champion ended up on the floor. I am convinced that we will see Francis in the ring again,” added “Iron” Mike.
