Boxing Fans Skeptical after Seeing Ngannou's Workout
In preparation for his highly anticipated crossover clash with Tyson Fury next month, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has enlisted the help of boxing legend Mike Tyson. However, after footage of Ngannou's workout with Tyson emerged, boxing fans expressed their doubts about his chances in the upcoming fight.
Concerns Raised Over Ngannou's Performance
As Ngannou showcased his jab and straight right to the body, social media quickly buzzed with comments from skeptical viewers. Some pointed out that the 80-year-old Tyson appeared to be faster and display better technique than Ngannou. Others questioned whether the Cameroonian boxer was too slow for Fury, suggesting that a fight between Tyson and Fury would have made more sense.
John Fury's Harsh Assessment
Even John Fury, Tyson Fury's father, weighed in on the footage, expressing his disappointment with Ngannou's performance. He described it as "embarrassing" and a "disgrace," stating that if that was all Ngannou had to offer, he would be "smashed to bits."
Ngannou's Determination to Pull off an Upset
Despite the skepticism from fans and boxing pundits alike, Ngannou, who is well-aware of his underdog status, remains confident in his ability to create one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. The MMA powerhouse emphasized his dream of boxing the best and solidifying his position as the "Baddest Man on the Planet." Ngannou sounded a warning to Tyson, stating that if he lands a clean hit, he will put the heavyweight champ to sleep in the ring.
