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)

Francis Ngannou warns Jon Jones of Stipe Miocic ahead of UFC 295 it's a 50-50 fight

Despite many within the MMA community claiming Jon Jones is en route to a one-sided successful heavyweight title defense at UFC 295 in November against Stipe Miocic, a former foe of the Ohio native, ex-heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou has claimed the bout is most definitely in swing at “50-50” a man.

Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, is slated to make his professional boxing debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia next month, taking on incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury over the course of 10 rounds in the Middle East.

And as for Jones, the Endicott native is set to take main event honors in his home state in November at Madison Square Garden, taking on the returning former two-time heavyweight titleholder, Miocic in the pair’s long-awaited title offing in New York.

Opening as a significant betting favorite to defeat Miocic in November at UFC 295, Jones has been warned to keep his p’s and q’s in check against the former by Ngannou – who has himself twice shared the Octagon with the consensus greatest heavyweight of all time.

“I put 50-50 on that fight [between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic],” Francis Ngannou said during his open workout ahead of his boxing debut next month. “I fought Stipe (Miocic) twice, and I know Stipe is pretty good. I know he doesn’t look like it, but I know how tough he is, I know how good he is. I know very well.” 

Recently also sharing his thoughts on a potential tangle with Jones in the future despite a failed pairing during their respective tenures under the scrutiny of the UFC, Ngannou claims that a potential showdown is still possible – regardless of involvement from the Dana White-led organization.

John Fury blasts Mike Tyson for coaching Francis Ngannou ahead of Tyson Fury fight: ‘I named my son after him’

John Fury, father of WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, does not seem best pleased with Mike Tyson…

Fury and Ngannou are set to square-off against one another in just a month time in a 10 round boxing match. The bout will  be held on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and while Ngannou will be a sizeable underdog with a slim chance of victory will also pick up a life changing payday.

Ngannou will however have the help of former undisputed heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, who is set to be in the corner for the fight.

This may cause a slight rift between the two teams as fury was named after Tyson, with his father saying on numerous occasions that he was his favrioute fighter.

Neither Fury seem particularly happy about the new pairing.

“Irritating,” the elder Fury said reacting to the corner appointment.  “I named my son after this man and he’s in his opponents corner, but that’s business and the business of the game we’re in. Would I want him in Tyson’s corner, yes I would, but he’s a grown man and can make his own decisions.” (H/T Talk Sport)

Tyson Fury agrees with John Fury

‘The Gypsy King’ appears to agree with his father and described the move as ‘sad’.

“The man that I am named after, a legend, has to go against me and then come out as a loser, having lost to a man who was named after him,” the Gypsy King said. “I think that it’s sad and I think that he should be in my corner, not the opposing corner, but business is business and I understand that it’s strictly business.”

“No matter what he teaches this fella , no matter how much boxing training he does, everyone has got a plan until they get punched in the face and I’m not sure who said that, but that is true.”

Francis Ngannou hopeful of Jon Jones fight no UFC bigger than a title

Former undisputed heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou claims he is still holding out hope for an eventual tangle with long-time rival and incumbent UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones, regardless of an involvement or not from the promotion.

Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from active competition since he headlined UFC 270 back in January of last year, landing a unanimous decision win over then-interim titleholder, Ciryl Gane. 

As for Jones, the Endicott native is slated to make his Octagon return against soon-to-be common-foe, Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 in November at Madison Square Garden, in the pair’s championship fight. 

Set to make his return to active competition next month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Ngannou, who has since penned a multi-fight deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters League) – will take on incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury in a 10 round professional boxing match as part of his debut.

However, as far as a miscued fight with former two-time light heavyweight champion, Jones is concerned, despite the fact the pair both fight currently for different organization, Ngannou insists he’s still hopeful of landing a blockbuster fight with the former.

“I don’t know, maybe it’ll be a special fight – a special belt or something, maybe not like a UFC belt,” Francis Ngannou said on The Joe Rogan Experience. “To be honest, I don’t worry about the title. The title is not what I worry about. I worry about that fight, that challenge.”

“I wouldn’t care if it was a fight without a title,” Francis Ngannou explained. “In my mind, I don’t need a UFC title. That fight is bigger than a title. The fight is bigger than a title. Deep inside me, I still have a little bit of hope, even through I know it’s going to be hard. But, you never know.”

Tyson Fury warned Francis Ngannou is more dangerous than former opponents UFC boxing

Undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has warned by promoter, Bob Arum, that incoming opponent, Francis Ngannou will pose a much more “dangerous” threat to him than past opponents and former champions, Derek Chisora, and Dillian Whyte.

Fury, who boasts an undefeated professional record, is slated to make his return to the ring in October in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, taking on former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Ngannou over the course of 10 rounds in a professional boxing match.

The outing with come as Morecambe native, Fury’s first since December of last year, where he most recently landed a third career win over the above-mentioned title challenger, Chisora.

That victory came as Fury’s second of the year, having previously stopped the previously noted, Whyte with a thunderous uppercut KO in London. And according to Arum, however, Cameroonian knockout artist, Ngannou will most definitely pose a much more severe threat to him than either Chisora or Whyte.

“Absolutely, this is a more dangerous fight,” Arum told Pro Boxing Fans during a recent interview. “(Francis) Ngannou hits harder than either (Derek) Chisora or Dillian Whyte, and when you’re in with a puncher like that, and you’re not in perfect chsape, that’s when you can knocked out.”

“Francis Ngannou is a tremendous puncher, probably the best puncher in the history of the UFC,” Arum explained. “This is going to be a really interesting fight. It’s going to be very fun to watch.” 

Sidelined from active competition since he headlined UFC 270 back in January of last year, former undisputed champion, Ngannou unified the heavyweight titles on that occasion, landing a unanimous decision victory over then interim champion, Ciryl Gane over the course of five rounds.
