Set to make his professional boxing debut next month against incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, former undisputed UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou has claimed he will leave the Morecambe native medically unfit to clash with fellow world champion, Oleksandr Usyk, in a planned end-of-year title blockbuster.
Ngannou, a former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, is slated to make his first venture into professional boxing next month, taking on WBC heavyweight champion, Fury over the course of 10 rounds in a professional boxing clash in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Sidelined himself since January of last year, Ngannou most recently turned in a unanimous decision win over then-interim UFC heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane, successfully unfiying the divisional titles.
