In a sudden turn of events, John Fury, the father of boxing celebrities Tyson Fury and Tommy Fury, has expressed his desire to see his son Tyson Fury step into the MMA octagon. John Fury has previously proved that he wears his heart on his sleeve when he lashed out at the Press Conference of the upcoming fight between Tommy Fury and KSI.
Tyson has made his name known as an undefeated boxer in the Heavyweight Division. Now while he is heading into a boxing bout with MMA hard-hitter Francis Ngannou, the fans are already waiting with bated breath. At a time like this, his father’s public statement has the fans even more excited as they curiously wait to see if the champ actually complies with that sentiment.
John Fury wants Tyson Fury vs. Jon Jones in the Octagon after Francis Ngannou fight
Fury Sr. is known to be a parent who is really supportive of his sons’ boxing careers. He has accompanied Tommy to his press conference and is also the manager of Tyson. John Fury recently stated, “Go out with a bang. Let the world know who’s the real deal in all walks of life, not just a boxing match. Tyson can do that. Tyson will kick your nuts up your back, he’ll elbow you and give you 20 stitches in your face. He’ll probably bite one of your ears off as well.”
If the “Gypsy King” actually agrees to step into the Octagon, it won’t be the first time someone has made a transition like that. Previously, MMA and Boxing legends Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather have also faced off in the boxing ring. Nevertheless, considering Tyson’s reach and size, he might just be a feared opponent in the Octagon.
Francis Ngannou Vows to KO Tyson Fury
Keeping aside the speculations of Fury stepping into the Octagon, he has a much bigger boxing bout in his schedule. The “Gypsy King” is set to face off against Ngannou, an exceptional striker who has now trained with Mike Tyson to give his best in his fight against Tyson. The Heavyweight MMA fighter is known to have the punching power equivalent to a sledgehammer swung full force from overhead.
Ngannou, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, is known to be an extremely dominant fighter who has KO’d fighters with single punches. His decision to transition to boxing to face Fury is a huge challenge for the boxing prodigy. In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Francis boldly stated, “We gonna find out how good he is — but he’s gonna hit that canvas.”
