Why Mike Tyson Thinks Ngannou Poses a Unique Threat to Fury in the Boxing Ring?

Mike Tyson: I Thought [Fury-Ngannou] Was Ridiculous, Too, Until I Saw [ Ngannou] Spar - Boxing News

Mike Tyson is regarded as one of the most devastating punchers in boxing history, and “Iron” claims that Tyson Fury is going to be surprised by how much power Francis Ngannou has when the two men square off in the ring.

The legendary former heavyweight boxing champion has been working with Ngannou to prepare him for his boxing debut opposite Fury, which is scheduled to take place on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.

Plenty of current and former fighters have already weighed in on the former UFC champion’s chances to upset Fury, but Mike Tyson recently appeared on The Jim Rome Show and cited Ngannou’s tremendous power as being a serious threat in the matchup.

“Listen, this guy punches like God knows who man,” Tyson said. “He’s an athlete, he moves quicker, works with his speed. And listen man, he only has to land one or two. Tyson’s never been in the ring with a guy that can punch this hard…I think this guy punches harder than anybody he’s ever fought.”

Fury is no stranger to facing power punchers considering he shared the ring with Deontay Wilder on three occasions, but Ngannou’s ability to end things with just one shot is what made the Cameroonian such a force during his time with the UFC.

“The Predator” is just over two months away from achieving his lifelong dream of stepping into the boxing ring, and regardless of the outcome against Fury, the former UFC champion will continue to dominate combat sports headlines when he begins preparing for his highly-anticipated PFL debut next year.
