The Clash of the Boxing and MMA Titans
In what promises to be an epic showdown, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are set to face off in a crossover clash this Saturday in Saudi Arabia. However, a bizarre argument has erupted between the two superstars, with Ngannou questioning Fury's true height.
Is Fury Smaller Than He Claims?
While Fury is listed as 6ft 9in and Ngannou stands at 6ft 4in, their face-to-face encounter revealed little difference in height. This prompted Ngannou, who is making his boxing debut, to cast doubt on Fury's claim.
Ngannou told TNT Sports, "They say he's 6ft 9in? But this doesn't look like five inches difference, right?"
Fury quickly interjected, asking Ngannou, "How tall are you?"
Ngannou responded, "They say I'm 6ft 4in."
Not one to back down, Fury challenged Ngannou's height, stating, "I think really you are about 6ft 2in."
Ngannou hit back, saying, "Well, I would say you're about 6ft 5in'."
Fury's Confident Game Plan
Despite the height controversy, Fury remains confident heading into the fight. In fact, he even revealed his game plan to Ngannou's face.
He confidently declared, "I'm gonna knock him out inside six rounds. And shall I tell you how I'm going to do it?
Fury continued, "Get on the front foot, high arm, sticking him with a punishing jab, 19, 20 stone in the face, boom, boom, boom, bust him up, swell his eyes out, and then feint, slip, bang! KO."
He added, "On the front foot, not running away. On the front foot, hand-eye, let him hit the shoulder, slip, slip, bang, slip, slip, bang. Down in a heap."
Fury concluded with a bold statement, "Listen, no one can take my power. Nobody. These heavyweights don't have a chance."
