Carl Froch Says Francis Ngannou Will Be Tyson Fury’s ‘Easiest Spar’

Carl Froch doesn’t think Francis Ngannou will do well against Tyson Fury.

Ngannou and Fury are set to clash on Oct. 28 in Saudi Arabia in a very intriguing matchup. Fury already has his next fight booked against Oleksandr Usyk sometime next year, in what should be a massive fight.

Heading into the fight, many expect Tyson Fury to win with ease, and Carl Froch agrees, as he thinks it will be easy for Fury.

“Listen, this is a f——- sparring session, probably the easiest spar he’s ever had,” said Froch to Best Gambling Sites. “I don’t care that Ngannou can punch, a mule can kick really hard, but he’s never going to be able to line it up. Fury’s not going to be worried about getting hit by that monstrous punch because I’ve seen Ngannou on the pads and he looks terrible. He looks like what I’d expect a zero fight novice to look like; slow, awkward, stiff – how is he going to get near Fury? He’s going to get his head absolutely peppered off.

“The announcement [of Fury-Usyk] is perfect timing,” Froch continued. What Frank Warren has realized is that Fury-Ngannou does not appeal to the proper boxing audience, it’s more for the crossover Misfits audience, so by announcing Fury-Usyk is definitely happening, all of sudden everyone’s tails are wagging and ears have pricked up, and they’re now all probably going to tune into the Ngannou fight on the back of that because now there’s interest in what Fury’s looking like. It’s perfect timing for the announcement and the sceptics will say, ‘what if Fury gets injured?.'”
