Tyson Fury lays down gauntlet to Francis Ngannou ahead of Riyadh ‘Battle of the Baddest’ bout



LONDON: WBC boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury claimed on Thursday he could beat ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in any code of fighting as the two faced off in London at a press conference promoting their “Battle of the Baddest” bout in Riyadh on October 28.

British boxer Fury, who will fight MMA lineal heavyweight top dog Ngannou in the Saudi capital to launch this year’s Riyadh Season, was in bullish mood and predicting an easy victory, adding that he would “100 percent” beat the French-Cameroonian at his own game as well.
