Tyson Fury Vows To Stand-And-Trade With Francis Ngannou

Tyson Fury has a lot of confidence he will be able to beat Francis Ngannou on Saturday with ease.

Fury is set to take on the former UFC heavyweight champion in an intriguing matchup. Entering the fight, Fury is a massive betting favorite and with that, he’s confident he will be able to do whatever he wants against Ngannou.

“Behave yourself,” Fury jokingly told Queensberry Promotions’ Dev Sahni during their grand arrivals in Riyadh (h/t BoxingScene). “I can stand and trade with anybody. I stood and traded with Wilder. I stood and traded with Wladimir [Klitschko]. I’ll stand and trade with this little bitch.”

Although many have talked about Ngannou’s power, Fury says he isn’t concerned at all about the former UFC heavyweight champs power.

“Says who?,” Fury replied. “Well, I’ve not had a go at punching, so he ain’t beat me. I have beat the actual biggest puncher in boxing and knocked him out. So yeah, until he beats me he can only ever dream about that record. The biggest puncher in combat sports – me.”

With Tyson Fury expecting to make this fight look easy, ‘The Gypsy King’ believes he cannot even get touched and will get a knockout win.

“Well, I might give ‘em a knockout, or I might give them a slick master boxing performance, not let the ugly man touch me once,” Fury said. “That’d be unbelievable, wouldn’t it? Come on, start dancing, tripling the jab like Apollo Creed, sticking and move, Rocky, sticking and move. Bums brawl, don’t they? You can go to a pub and see two big lumps knocking [the stuffing] out of each other. But what I can do is only a gift from God. Not very many people can do what I can do, twist and move, bend, triple the jab, follow four right hands behind it, slip and counter with me hands down. It’s like a unique gift.”
