Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury-Francis Ngannou Set, Oct. 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

[TMLT87]

I've always been a fan of his, especially when he first started his comeback at 400lbs. Sure, as a boxing fan I'm pretty disappointed in this (and in not making the Usyk fight) but it's funny how so many nobodies in a forum comment section think they have a say in how someone earns a living. "POS." "Hope he decapitates him." Damn, disappointed in your own miserable lives much? The WBC is too often a complete joke but Wilder WAS supposed to fight Ruiz for the mandatory spot (not that I have any interest in seeing a 4th Fury-Wilder fight). Not sure what happened there...

It is funny how when Wilder mentioned fighting Ngannou everyone was riding his nuts... Read the comments.

(48) Deontay Wilder expresses interest in 2-fight deal vs. Francis Ngannou for boxing & MMA | ESPN MMA - YouTube

Now that Fury is actually DOING it everyone wants him to drop dead.

Two major differences - Wilder is not the no1 HW in the world and isnt a champ, and secondly he said he'd do one boxing match and one MMA fight vs Francis, not just box him.

Imagine if Ngannou knocks him out, boxing will be in the mud forever. This is boxing vs mma right now and we need fury to show these mma dudes that they aren’t on boxings level

[Pretty Boy32]

This won’t happen.

The funny thing is that as an actual fight this really has no selling point at all.

With Mayweather and McGregor, anyone with any sense knew that Mayweather was going to toy with him but at least you could kind of make a little selling point about it to the average person and say Floyd's old and retired and McGregor was supposed to be a big hitter and all these things...

but in terms of this one there's nothing in it you can really sell about it as an actual fight. one is still an active fighter that's considered the best heavyweight out there and one has never boxed before. and you can't even create a selling point that and Ngannou has some great power or something when Fury already whooped Wilder three times.

I know lots of people will watch it because of name value so it doesn't matter. It's just going to be funny to see how they're actually going to try and sell the actual fight itself as competitive.

It will sell more than fury usyk would have. Cause this will have more of a casual fan base. Im seeing a lot of comments saying its a circus which it is. Im also seeing a lot of top comments on fb people looking forward to it that is the casual fan base. This fight will attract a lot of attention like it has done today. Whether its casual boxing mma fans or whether its people hating on it they'll all watch.

Where are now Fury diehards that keep on attacking Joshua for fighting Franklin, Whyte...Hero you have your hero.

The way Fury has ducked Usyk is pathetic. Tyson is a great fighter but impossible to be a fan of.

[GhostofDempsey]

I don't want to hear any crying from Floyd fans who supported the McGregor fight being sanctioned versus being an exhibition.

This should be an exhibition, not a sanctioned title fight. If Fury doesn't fight Usyk or AJ as his next opponent after this scrap, he needs to be stripped.

[Wir109]

Yes it’s bad, and yes you will all watch. You know you will.

I would watch Ngannou fight Wilder as a brutal KO would be guaranteed. Fury is too skilled to be Knocked out by Ngannou so once you get past the hype this fight is extremely predictable.

[dannnnn]

Hmm, funny how Fury wasn't dishing out ridiculous public ultimatums this time like "Sign the contract by this time last week or there's no fight, dosser!"

It's almost as if he wasn't trying to block this fight and prevent it from happening. Strange.

[Goatintheboat]

Well why not. If Ruiz wants too much cash and AJ is too scared give this MMA guy a go. Not that I'm going to watch it. Then on to the mandatory in January
