After teasing retirement during the build-up to his latest bout, Tyson Fury hinted at the possibility of a massive change of plans after defeating fellow British-born fighter Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
The WBC heavyweight champion revealed during his post-fight interview with ESPN plans for a massive crossover fight against MMA star Francis Ngannou, the current UFC Heavyweight champion. Fury’s shocking announcement came shortly after the 33-year-old scored an impressive sixth-round TKO victory in front of 94,000-plus spectators at Wembley Stadium.
“Going to be an explosive fight when it happens,” he said, per ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.
