How can you gain respect when you havent had a single boxing match yet? if he gives a solid account of himself he will gain plenty of respect, well either that or people will just think Fury carried him.

He is viewed as a popular MMA fighter that came to get KOed and collect a big check. Fury will do the same as Floyd did, carry him for a few rounds and when he is tired take him out.

20-1 favorite is generous. Odds are the Fury will win by stoppage.

respect is earned not given, mr. Ngannou! good luck on your boxing match.

Be glad when this cash grab is over , although the undercard is decent.Having said that if people are prepared to pay PPV for these pathetic youtube guys and an obvious drug cheat (Benn) v a much bigger guy whose done little (jr Eubank) then in comparison, I suppose this card is worth every penny!

Again, two different sports. This makes as much sense as having a tennis match between a world class golfer and a world class tennis player and think it will be competitive. Switch the rules to MMA and Fury is destroyed. Under boxing rules Fury will toy with this guy and it's going to be another clown show for the WWE crowd to be entertained. At least the knuckleheads paying for this will make both actors a lot richer.

I would have respected Fury if he would have agreed to a cage fight afterward. But these UFC guys know they are going to get beat by boxing rules in advance and are selling their souls for money. They should demand a two-fight deal where the fights are in the ring and then the cage. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

ngannou makes all the right noises being a bit humble etc, i hope he does manage to put on a show and make it an actually decent fight, teddy atlas giving ngannou some praise after his training with him for a day is a plus point for him, rightly or wrongly

Honestly doubt it but hope Ngannou pulls it off
