Former opponent believes Tyson Fury will hit the canvas in his upcoming bout.

As the highly anticipated showdown between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou approaches, Fury's former opponent, Derek Chisora, has voiced his prediction. Chisora believes that Fury, the unbeaten heavyweight world champion, will ultimately come out on top. However, he also warned that Fury may have to overcome a knockdown before securing the victory.

Chisora's Prediction

In an interview with SecondsOut, Chisora stated, "Tyson is going to win it, but I think Tyson is going to get dropped by Ngannou." Chisora has first-hand experience in the ring with Fury, as they have fought each other three times, with Fury emerging as the victor in each bout.

Fury's Father's Expectations

John Fury, Tyson Fury's father, also shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout. He expressed his high regard for Ngannou and his belief that the former UFC champion will bring his rugged martial arts style into the boxing ring. John Fury expects his son to face significant challenges, possibly even suffering injuries, stating, "I’m expecting Tyson to come out with a broken leg or a broken arm...He’s going to get knocked about, Tyson, and he knows that, exhibition my backside – they’re going to kill each other those pair."

Ngannou's Preparation

Ngannou, who is transitioning from the MMA cage to boxing, has enlisted the help of legendary boxer Mike Tyson for his debut in the ring. Mike Tyson, who is highly respected by John Fury and after whom Tyson Fury is named, has been training Ngannou in his Las Vegas camp. John Fury acknowledges the significance of this mentorship, stating, "He couldn't have a better mentor in his camp than the great Mike Tyson, I'm sure Mike will show him the boxing moves he needs."

With both fighters preparing intensively and the stage set for a battle royal, fans are eagerly awaiting the clash between these heavyweight titans on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
