Mike Tyson – Francis Ngannou
Mike Tyson has been a long-time MMA fan and is frequently seen attending UFC events and hanging out with UFC president Dana White, who he’s been friends with for many years.
But now it seems that ‘Iron’ Mike is taking his interest one stage further by linking up with fearsome UFC heavyweight striker Francis Ngannou, after ‘The Predator’ was called out by current boxing star Tyson Fury.
“Spoke with Mike Tyson and he agreed to train me for when I fight Tyson Fury in the ring,” Ngannou stated recently.
“Don’t be scared Fury, you called me out and now you’ll have to live with it.”
Fury, who has recently been spotted being trained by UFC welterweight star Darren Till responded that, “I’ll deal with you and all the other MMA heavyweights when I’m done with my boxing fights, it won’t be long to wait!”
Video footage also emerged of Tyson already giving Ngannou hands-on advice about how to defeat Fury if they do meet, while the legendary boxer also praised the former UFC heavyweight title contender’s, stating that he, “has some serious power.”
