Ex-UFC star Francis Ngannou vows to leave Tyson Fury medically unfit to fight Oleksandr Usyk in December

Set to make his professional boxing debut next month against incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, former undisputed UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou has claimed he will leave the Morecambe native medically unfit to clash with fellow world champion, Oleksandr Usyk, in a planned end-of-year title blockbuster.

Ngannou, a former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, is slated to make his first venture into professional boxing next month, taking on WBC heavyweight champion, Fury over the course of 10 rounds in a professional boxing clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Sidelined himself since January of last year, Ngannou most recently turned in a unanimous decision win over then-interim UFC heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane, successfully unfiying the divisional titles.

And just yesterday, multiple reports confirmed how the above-mentioned heavyweight duo of Fury and Usyk had put pen to paper on official contracts for an undisputed heavyweight championship fight – which is currently targeted to take place on December 23. in Saudi Arabia – if not in January.

Francis Ngannou warns Tyson Fury away from a quick turnaround

Reacting to news of Fury’s already planned return just 8 weeks after their scheduled pairing, Ngannou vowed that two months would not prove enough time for the former to recover from their clash to face Usyk.

“I don’t know what’s the minimum medical suspension in boxing but I really don’t understand how Tyson (Fury) can fight [with Oleksandr Usyk] in December after what’s going to happen on 10/28,” Francis Ngannou posted on his official X account.

Most recently successfully defending his WBC crown back in December of last year, Fury stopped three-time foe and championship challenger, Derek Chisora with a blistering tenth round standing TKO victory to retain his title.

That victory spelt Fury’s return to fighting following a prior April knockout win over Dillian Whyte in the pair’s WBC heavyweight championship rematch.

McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon amid a fractured leg suffered back in 2021, in his trilogy rubber match loss to former interim titleholder, Dustin Poirier.

And despite initially laying out plans for a December return this year at the welterweight limit against Michael Chandler, McGregor has since seen that timeframe quashed, with UFC CEO, Dana White instead confirming how he expects the Crumlin striker to instead make a return in 2024.

Conor McGregor unable to link up with Dillon Danis for Logan Paul fight

Sharing his thoughts on Danis’ upcoming professional boxing debut against the outspoken, Paul next month in the UK, McGregor remains non-committal on if he would even attend the showcase, before revealing he never got the chance to train Danis for the bout.

“Dillon’s (Danis) gonna win, Dillon will win,” Conor McGregor told All Out Fighting. “You know, [Dillon Danis] had the baby, we didn’t get to train together. So, I don’t know the ins and outs. I know he’s doing well, he’s still training and he’s gonna go for it. He’s had a baby, he had a new baby so I tried to bring him out. Dillon’s good.” (H/T TalkSPORT)

In recent weeks, footage has emerged of Danis training alongside former undisputed middleweight UFC champion, Alex Pereira in Connecticut – as the Brazilian prepares for his own fighting return at UFC 295 in November at Madison Square Garden, taking on Jiri Prochazka for the vacant light heavyweight title.

John Fury warns KSI against planned slap attack on him after October fight: ‘He’d have a very nasty dental bill’

Veteran coach, John Fury, the father of WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury and emerging boxing talent, Tommy Fury – has warned the latter’s upcoming foe, KSI away from a planned slap attack on him ahead of his October boxing return, warning him that he’ll face an expensive trip to the dentist if he follows through. […]

Fury, an iconic figure in professional boxing, wreaked havoc at a pre-fight press conference earlier this month between KSI, Tommy Fury, Logan Paul, and outspoken grappler, Dillon Danis – slamming a table and turning it over in a loss of temper during the press event.

The latest stunt came in a long list of infamous moments from the heralded Fury, who also took off his top in the ring following his son’s victory in Saudi Arabia last year – goading eventual opponent, Jake Paul who sat ringside at the event.

John Fury issues stark warning to KSI ahead of October fight

Issuing a warning to KSI ahead of the former’s boxing return against his son, Tommy Fury next month in England, John Fury has claimed the professional boxer, YouTube star, and R&B artist will have a trip to the dentist on his hands, if he tries to slap him as planned following the event.

“He’s (KSI) never going to get to slap my titties,” John Fury said. “I’ve been doing plenty of bench presses recently, anyway. Look, he’d have a very nasty dentist bill if he does. Because he wouldn’t have had tooth in his cupboard because it’d been knocked straight to the back of his throat. Nobody can buck around on me, on one, unless they’re paying a lot of money.”

“And I know more about fighting and violence than him,” John Fury explained. “I’d probably just pick him up, fire him into the crowd like a paper aeroplane. I’d pick him up in the end, fire him up in the air like a paper aeroplane because one of my arms is bigger than KSI.”

“But listen, the kid ain’t gonna do that,” John Fury explained. “The kid’s not stupid. They’re not stupid people. Like, I’m not stupid. Things do get out of hand. But that takes two to tango. Always remember that. If they want a problem, it’s because they’re inciting it too. And if I think they’re inciting something, I’m gonna meet them head on with in. In my age and my experience, they don’t 100% want it. I can see in their eyes whether they want it or not. That’s okay by me. I won’t push it. But if they want it, they can have it. No one wants a problem in this life. Always remember that. No one wants it. But if they have to have it, they’ll have it.”

“I was born a man, I’ll die a man,” John Fury continued. “Nobody can put his hands on John Fury and expect to get away unscathed. You bring it and you touch me, you’re in trouble.” (Credit to Freebets.com)
