Everything you need to know ahead of Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou

Boxing kingpin Frank Warren insists Francis Ngannou can only beat Tyson Fury if he can “land his bombs” as the two heavyweights are set to collide in a blockbuster bout.

Ngannou will make his debut inside the ring on Sunday morning against Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion and one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

The odds are certainly stacked against the former UFC heavyweight champion, but it’s exactly why Warren, who is Fury’s promoter, believes he’s even more dangerous.

But Warren backed ‘The Gypsy King’ to meet the hulking Cameroonian in the middle of the ring and wouldn’t take a backwards step.

“People think Tyson will move around and jab,” Warren told the Daily Mail.

“I don’t think he’ll do that. He stood toe-to-toe with Deontay Wilder and I think that’s what will happen.

“It will be very exciting and very, very short and I think Tyson will come through it.”

However, if Ngannou is to stun the boxing world and secure one of the biggest upsets of all time, Warren knows it can only happen if he brings the physicality often used in a UFC bout.

“He’s (Ngannou) not a trained boxer and I think what can he do to beat Tyson Fury,” Warren said.

“He beats him by knocking him out. He’s got to take him out and put him out of his stride.

“He’s got to rough him up like they do in UFC. He will have to be physical and land his bombs.

“That’s the only way he beats him.”
