"Never doubt a man with hope and faith" - Francis Ngannou posts spine-chilling promo of struggles for Tyson Fury fight

On July 11th, 2023, news broke that former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou would indeed be fighting Tyson Fury in October. The two heavyweights will face each other in a boxing match.

Given the ruleset, many are sure to doubt Francis Ngannou. After all, he has no professional boxing experience. Despite the fact that he is a knockout artist in the cage, his lack of experience against top-level boxers is sure to be a disadvantage against Tyson Fury.

'The Predator,' despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, doesn't appear to be fazed. He took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a promo for the fight, with the caption:

"Never doubt a man with hope and faith. #FuryNgannou | 10.28.2023 | #RiyadhSeason"

Ngannou is no stranger to trials and tribulations. In fact, his story and road to becoming the UFC heavyweight champion is something of a legend. From working in the sandmines at a young age in his native Cameroon, to immigrating to France, where he became an MMA fighter, Ngannou has overcome incredible odds to be where he is at today.

There was previously talk of the bout being an 'exhibition' bout. These rumors, however, appear to be dispelled given the release. Fans can expect an explosive bout, with both men chasing the finish. If their previous fights are anything to go by, a knockout is most definitely on the cards in Riyadh.
