Heading into the clash as a huge underdog, Francis Ngannou has the weight of the world on his shoulders as he’s forced to perform under the brightest lights of his combat sports career. Despite reaching the pinnacle of mixed martial arts by becoming the UFC heavyweight king and defending his throne, ‘The Predator’ will now face the toughest test of his decade-long career in fighting. Tyson Fury wants to give the MMA star a rude awakening when they step into the cage together and put on a masterclass display before defending his title against Oleksandr Usyk in a few months’ time. With all the confidence in the world , Ngannou spent time with the TNT Sports team to detail how he has been preparing for the bout on October 28.
