Tyson Fury claims he’s training as hard as possible for Francis Ngannou
Going into the highly anticipated bout between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, a lot has been said about how it would most likely be a one-sided contest. However, 'The Gypsy King' is not taking Ngannou lightly and is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation for his fight against the former UFC heavyweight champion.
During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Tyson Fury acknowledged Ngannou's background and claimed that he is training very hard to ensure he comes out victorious on October 28. He said:
"I'm fighting an absolute killer in Francis Ngannou. A six foot four or five, 270-80 pound guy who's come from the streets, come from wherever he's from. Cameroon. On sleeping on the floor. I read somewhere that he was in Paris eating rats off the street. So this guy is hungry."
He added:
"Do you think I'm going to not train for him? Come in at, like, 400 pounds? I don't think so. I've trained as hard for him as I did for any other fighter I've ever fought. And at this level, you don't get no second chances. So better to prepare for the hardest fight ever, and if not be, then prepare for an easy fight. And it's a war."
