“I’d like to express gratitude to Tyson Fury for accepting this fight, understanding the stakes,” Ngannou said at Thursday’s press conference (watch it here). “There’s a possibility he might not stay awake the whole fight. I recognize his bravery and thank him. This training camp felt different. The challenge was distinct. Knowing the scale of the task ahead, we commenced our preparations early.”
“Having Mike Tyson and my coach Dewey Cooper’s presence made a significant difference in my strategy for this fight,” Ngannou continued. “When Mike Tyson joined, one statement of his resonated with me. He mentioned, ‘Remember, he’s just like you with two hands and two feet.’ That insight was powerful. Tyson Fury might be the best in boxing, but that reign may end this Saturday.”
