Heavyweight legend Tyson has been training Ngannou in preparation for 'The Gypsy King'.
Mike Tyson has been working with Ngannou ahead of this weekend’s fight Francis Ngannou will have to channel all the guile, ferocity and intelligence of the legendary Mike Tyson to stand a chance of beating Tyson Fury on Saturday. But with the man himself in his corner, there is hope. The former UFC heavyweight champion will make his boxing debut against ‘The Gypsy King’ in a non-title contest in Sadi Arabia in the sport’s latest crossover spectacle dubbed ‘the Battle of the Baddest’.
Ngannou delivered stunning knockouts during his rise to becoming UFC champion ‘You have to get him in close enough to do that and that for me is where Mike Tyson comes in. Of course, it brings a huge confidence but also the technical ability and understanding of what it is like to fight much bigger individuals, I think that is something Tyson can certainly pass onto him.’ Fury, named after the man who became the youngest heavyweight world champion in 1986, regards Tyson as a hero.
