Tyson Fury\u00a0has suggested that he would knockout Francis Ngannou ‘in seconds’ if the combat stars were to have a mixed martial arts bout.<\/p>\n
The WBC heavyweight champion was speaking ahead of the press conference for his crossover boxing bout with Ngannou – who will make his debut in the sport against the Gypsy King.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Ngannou’s impressive power, which he’s displayed throughout his career, there are hopes that the Cameroonian can deliver a shock defeat to his counterpart.<\/p>\n
However, despite this, Fury remained confident over the fight and even suggested he would ‘beat him for sure’ if the duo were to fight inside a cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told TNT Sports: ‘I\u2019d like to fight Ngannou in the cage, I think I can beat him for sure. He\u2019s not a good wrestler, he\u2019s known for striking and I\u2019m a better striker than him. In little gloves, I\u2019d knock him out in seconds.<\/p>\n

Tyson Fury was in high spirits ahead of the press conference for his fight with Francis Ngannou<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou will make his boxing debut against the Gypsy King<\/p>\n
The two combat stars will share the boxing ring on October 28th in a bout that is being described as the ‘Battle of the Baddest’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fury went on to suggest: ‘I\u2019d fight Jon Jones also in the cage, if the money was right.’<\/p>\n
UFC heavyweight champion Jones has been tipped to share the stage with Fury, after the two went head-to-head on social media after comments were made by UFC commentator Joe Rogan.<\/p>\n
Fury objected to Rogan’s suggestions that he would have ‘no chance in hell’ against Jones in a street fight and then\u00a0took to social media\u00a0to blast Rogan in an expletive-laden rant and insisted that he would win that fight against Jones.<\/p>\n
However, in May,\u00a0Fury took to his Instagram page to clarify his thoughts on the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wrote: ‘If you guys want to fight me it’s got to be under boxing rules. I don’t roll round the floor, I stand up and punch.’<\/p>\n
It seems that Fury has since U-turned on that stance and would welcome a fight with the UFC champion inside the cage.<\/p>\n
