Guest of the Super Moscato Show, Cameroonian Francis Ngannou, a true MMA star, has indicated that he wants to fight against Tyson Fury, heavyweight boxing champion.
Francis Ngannou, current holder of the UFC heavyweight belt after winning his fight against French Cyril Gane, even conceded that he would like to challenge the "Gypsy King" before the end of his career.
From his own words on the show, Ngannou said that the two men had agreed to face each other “
We want to organize a fight.
I've wanted to fight in English boxing for a long time and above all, the opportunity with Tyson Fury, we've been heating up a bit on social networks for two years.
We are not in contact yet.
That's actually one of the problems with the UFC contract
."
UFC restraints prevent fight
Following his victory over Cyril Gane, to retain his UFC champion belt, Francis Ngannou automatically found himself extended by Dana White's organization.
A situation which prevents him for the moment from fighting in English boxing against Tyson Fury and which seems to him annoyed as he explained on the set of the show: "
Being a UFC fighter , we give exclusivity and we no longer have the right to do anything.
Although it is against our interest, we give him this exclusivity
.
We give everything to the UFC and we get nothing in return.
The UFC has no commitment, no responsibility
”.
The rules of the fight established in advance
Not participating in the same sport, the two fighters are currently discussing the conditions of this future so that neither of them is too advantaged thanks to his discipline.
Francis Ngannou therefore does not wish to fight in MMA.
The Cameroonian wants a balanced fight and could adjust the rules of English boxing with his future opponent for the occasion “
We can have a somewhat hybrid formula, which comes out of the ordinary or intermediate.
Maybe with MMA gloves and in an octagon but with boxing rules, concluded Francis Ngannou about this clash.
In MMA, he would have a lot less chance than me in English boxing
