‘Get on the front foot, high arm, sticking him with a punishing jab, 19, 20 stone in the face, boom, boom, boom, bust him up, swell his eyes out, and then feint, slip, bang! K.O.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘On the front foot, not running away. On the front foot, hand-eye, let him hit the shoulder, slip, slip, bang, slip, slip, bang. Down in a heap.<\/p>\n
\u2018Listen, no one can take my power. Nobody. These heavyweights don\u2019t have a chance.\u2019<\/p>\n

Fury said: ‘I\u2019m like Neo on The Matrix.\u00a0You better believe it. I\u2019m gonna come out, nice, stiff, snappy jab, bang, doubling up, bang, bang, bang, slip, slip, slip, body shot, upper cut, jab, jab, feint, bang \u2013 right hand, game over.’<\/p>\n
‘Wow. That sounds like the script for a movie,’ said Ngannou. He then turned Fury’s words against him: ‘As you said earlier, everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.\u2019<\/p>\n
