Former Tyson Fury foe believes ex-UFC star Francis Ngannou will knock him down in October showdown

Three-time Tyson Fury opponent Derek Chisora believes ‘The Gypsy King’ will hit the mat when he steps into the squared circle with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou this fall.

On October 28, Ngannou will make his professional boxing debut as he heads the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for a showdown with the reigning WBC heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury. With ‘The Predator’ stepping in the ring for the very first time, many, including Chisora, expect him to fall short of having his hand raised in Riyadh. But that doesn’t mean he won’t put up a hell of a fight.
