Francis Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, feels as though Tyson Fury is underestimating him by scheduling a fight with Usyk on December, eight weeks after his match with Fury on October 28, 2023.
He's familiar with this feeling because he has once been underestimated as an underdog in the UFC. Now, he's bent on proving Fury's camp wrong.
Ngannou is being trained for this match by his idol, Mike Tyson.
I feel that though Ngannou is gifted with the natural power to knockout Fury as he trains hard for this match, he isn't conditioned to go 12 rounds with his background in the UFC.
His only chance to take down Fury is in the early rounds.
But Fury is the current heavyweight champion for a reason. He'll probably take Ngannou into deep waters in the late rounds and tire him out as he guns for a knockout.
