He can say this only after fighting Usyk. Not before!

Even Daniel Dubois would have beat up Ngannou. This was an MMA guy in his first fight. Fury acted scared the whole fight

Fury will retire - permanently this time - soon enough and the HW division can move on to greener pastures. Fight Usyk, beat him convincingly, and you can at least go out with a slightly reinvigorated record, Tyson. Until then, much respect to Ngannou; not a great boxer but definitely better than expected.

Fury did that Rocky 3 training. Taking pictures with people, going through the motions, eating rich food. There is no way, and I mean zero way, Fury thought Ngannou could box that well and he prepared for an exhibition level opponent who he could play around with and pick up his big check. Fury came in ten pounds heavier than his last fight and had no idea Ngannou was crafty.
That is a big missed aspect of this. Ngannou is a damn good boxer, and a damn beast. He may well beat Wilder, AJ or Usyk.
There is the x factor in that maybe we are watching the end of Fury, that time, his weight, substance abuse, etc, has finally got the better of him, and that he is done. If so, Usyk may well beat Fury and become undisputed.
That said, I expect the Ngannou debacle to spell real trouble for Usyk. Because Fury has been embarrassed and right now he is hungry to show the world that Ngannou was a fluke. I am betting we see a much more in shape Fury, much like the one that came into the second Wilder fight, and he is going to stop Usyk.
With that low blow/ legal blow should have been a KO against Dubois, Fury-Usyk is shaping up to be interesting as hell.

Hate on Fury all you want, but Ngannou is legitimately, and surprisingly, a damn good boxer. He was a striker in MMA, not a big ground guy. He has obvious natural ability, and when you are that big and strong, it will make up for lack of experience to a large degree.AmpMcv likes this.

Usyk is going to be the odds on favorite after that performance. Fury is a fraud. He’s been milking the “lineal title” ever since beating Klitchko and getting his license revoked for being a drug cheat, or should I say his “mental health sabbatical.” He spent his load on the Wilder trilogy and Wilder is a trash boxer. In the interim he has avoided top tier fighters and become less active and more out of shape. Usyk will box circles around him. I’d give Josh and Zhang an edge as well. He’s finished.dan-b likes this.
