With an impeccable undefeated record, Tyson Fury has solidified his status as the preeminent heavyweight boxer of this era. Recently, Fury utilized social media as a platform to unleash a scathing tirade aimed at Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, and Joe Rogan.
Amidst his verbal onslaught, Fury paused momentarily to direct his attention toward former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. The British boxer didn’t mince words as he delivered a harsh message to Ngannou.
Challenging him to sign the contract and step into the ring to face him. The confrontational call-out adds another layer of intrigue to the already captivating world of combat sports.

Fury said, “Francis Ngannou, you big mush. I’m your daddy; I’m the daddy. I’m the baddest man on the planet, and I’ll give you the best time you ever had, you big dosser. Sign the contract you big stiff idiot.”
In a swift response to Fury’s provocation, Francis wasted no time expressing his readiness for the anticipated clash. Displaying his confidence, ‘The Predator’ declared that he has consistently been prepared and eager to face Fury in the ring.
Ngannou called upon Tyson to formalize the fight, underlining his unwavering enthusiasm to go head-to-head with the British heavyweight champion.
The exchange of fiery words between the two fighters intensifies the anticipation and raises the stakes for a potential showdown that fans have eagerly been awaiting.

Tyson Fury taunts Francis Ngannou for a fight
Fury recently issued challenges to several heavyweight contenders, such as Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, and Andy Ruiz, as their anticipated matches failed to materialize.
Since his triumphant knockout victory against Derek Chisora in their trilogy bout last December, Tyson has not defended his WBC title. In April 2022, Fury delivered another knockout victory, this time against Dillian Whyte.

Following the bout, he extended an invitation to Francis to step into the boxing ring. The two engaged in friendly exchanges and expressed their desire to face off.
However, discussions about the fight ceased when Ngannou departed from the UFC. Subsequently, Fury confronted Dereck Chisora towards the end of 2022 and then turned his attention to Oleksandr.
After a prolonged period of exploring his options in free agency, Francis ultimately signed with the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
The PFL contract not only offers a substantial seven-figure payout but also grants Ngannou creative control and an executive position within the organization.
Additionally, the contract permits him to pursue boxing matches alongside his MMA career under the PFL banner. This development prompted Fury to call out Francis for a potential boxing showdown.
As of now, Ngannou and Tyson are engaged in ongoing negotiations for a highly anticipated boxing match, to finalize the details before the year’s end.
