Mike Tyson has responded to Tyson Fury admitting that he was disappointed with his decision to be in the corner of Francis Ngannou ahead of their mega-fight.<\/p>\n

Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, will go head to head against the former UFC heavyweight champion on October 24 in a bout dubbed: 'Battle of the Baddest'. While it will be Ngannou's first-ever professional boxing fight, he has the advantage of having the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' in his corner as Mike Tyson is coaching the Cameroonian.<\/p>\n

Tyson is sharing coaching duties with Dewey Cooper as they prepare the 37-year-old for his boxing debut against the best of his generation in Fury, who was actually named after the New York native. Fury's father, John, has long admitted his admiration for Tyson and even got to embrace him as the pair met during a recent podcast appearance.<\/p>\n

While Tyson has publicly backed Ngannou for victory, Fury admitted that "it's sad" that his father's hero is rooting for the other side and stated he thinks Tyson should be in his corner rather than his opponent's. "I think that it's sad, actually. The man that I am named after, a legend, has to go against me and then come out as a loser, having lost to a man who was named after him," he said to Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

Tyson responded as he told TNT Sports: "This is business, and he understands". Fury echoed his words and insisted he understands that it's business but his tutelage won't help Ngannou in the ring. <\/p>\n

"I think that it's sad and I think that he should be in my corner, not the opposing corner, but business is business and I understand that it's strictly business," the 34-year-old added.<\/p>\n

"No matter what he teaches this fella [Ngannou], no matter how much boxing training he does, everyone has got a plan until they get punched in the face and I'm not sure who said that, but that is true. They've all got a plan until they get smacked in the mouth." Tyson said he believes Ngannou will give a good account of himself despite his novice status in boxing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I think he\u2019s gonna do very well, listen, it\u2019s all experience, he\u2019s fighting, he just has to remember not to use his feet, which he never really did actually. He\u2019s a real power puncher.<\/p>\n

"Real fast for a big guy, 260[lbs]. I just think he\u2019s gonna do better than most people believe."<\/p>\n
