    Comments Thread For: Arum on Working with Dana White on Fury-Ngannou: Wouldn't Bother Me; No Animosity on My Part

    Promoter Bob Arum is not one to let a few sour words spoil a lucrative business opportunity. The 90-year-old founder of Top Rank Inc. said he would be willing to work alongside UFC boss Dana White in a promoting a potential crossover bout between WBC heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury, Arum's charge, and UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, despite the fact that Arum does not have the best of relations with White.

          Ngannou went through knee surgery. He'll be out for over half a year.

            Any pro boxer, be it Dillian Whyte or Joe Soap, are tougher opponents for Fury than Ngannou.

            I don't think Francis would last as long as that dude Schwarz that Fury ko'd, unless Fury carried him a bit longer.

              Ngannou would murder Schwarz imho. I wouldnt count him out against Wallin either. I think he would probably last 7-8 rounds with Fury tbh, it'd be an accumulative beatdown thing while Ngannou is gassed.

              Yeah. Del Boy was there as well mean mugging the cameras. Joshua actually got quite a frosty reception from the crowd.

                    Hopefully, Fury is focused on Whyte first.

                    But so long as that turns out as expected, this would be an amazing sideshow for Fury and Ngannou. If it is some kind of mash up between Boxing and UFC, Ngannou could have himself a decent shot. Maybe use K-1 rules? That would certainly even the playing field.
