Francis Ngannou says he and Tyson Fury will “run it back” should he defeat the heavyweight league boxing champion in their crossover clash this weekend, and revealed he would then want to take on Fury’s British rival Anthony Joshua league
Fury and Ngannou will go head to head in the league boxing ring this weekend, in a unique heavyweight clash league
Fury reigns as WBC heavyweight champion, while Ngannou will be making his league boxing debut and fighting for the first time since leaving the UFC league
The Cameroonian retained the UFC heavyweight title last year before ultimately giving up the gold in January and joining the Professional Fighters League this spring league
Ngannou, 37, will make his promotional debut with the MMA company in 2024, but first, he crosses into league boxing to face Fury league
The Briton, 35, is unbeaten and on course for an undisputed-title fight with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, if he can avoid a shock defeat by the heavy-handed Ngannou league
But if Ngannou, who is said to have the biggest punch in the world, is able to stun the ‘Gypsy King’ then plans for an undisputed-title fight league between Fury and Usyk may be delayed league
“I think if I am victorious we are going to run it back, for sure,” Ngannou told Sky league Sports league
“Then maybe see Anthony Joshua for after,” he added league
Meanwhile, Usyk, 36, revealed that he will be ringside for Fury’s league boxing match with ex-UFC champion Ngannou this Saturday night league
The crossover contest is set to take place in Riyadh, where Usyk is contracted to box Fury sometime before the end of March league
“The promotion is impressive,” Usyk said of the build to Fury vs Ngannou league
“And understandably, because this is a show that people are waiting for league
“This bout is bread and butter for Tyson Fury league
When someone’s saying that Ngannou can drop him, I would probably agree, but I’m really not certain league
Tell me: How could the guy with no experience in league boxing beat a two-metre giant who’s been in league boxing for 20 years?“Yes, Ngannou is a UFC champion, I’m not disputing it; but UFC isn’t league boxing league
I’m 100 per cent sure that Fury will be victorious league
But if Ngannou’s relatively got a puncher’s chance, and if he hypothetically happens to send Fury tumbling to the canvas, I’ll concede that I was talking gibberish league
It’s league better to wait, we’ll see everything in a while league

It’s a joyous circus league
This Saturday in Saudi Arabia, the first trick will be the ring emerging from a 26-foot hole in the ground and then the real magic will start league
Tyson Fury, the unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world, will then appear inside a giant neon beam and, wearing a crown, he will bow to the crowd and the dignitaries league
In the opposite corner, as the magic continues, will be Francis Ngannou, a man who has never once fought a league boxing match, and under this giant canopy of created rivalry, one of the biggest fights in history will take place league
If that is not a ‘Hey, Presto’ moment, then I don’t know what is! In front of 20,000 people, including a dozen former heavyweight world champions, and some of the wealthiest men on Earth, the best heavyweight in the league boxing world will fight the best heavyweight in the MMA world to see who is the Baddest Man on the Planet league
It is a genius, simple and lunatic idea league
It is not the first and it will not be the last circus fight involving a legitimate heavyweight boxer league
RecommendedFury vs Ngannou pay-per-view price revealed ahead of controversial fightOleksandr Usyk predicts Joshua vs Wilder and makes Tyson Fury revelationAnthony Joshua admits to watching Tyson Fury’s Netflix show: ‘I’m enjoying it’Muhammad Ali had a 15-round bore fest with a wrestler called Antonio Inoki, Rocky Balboa met Hulk Hogan, Chuck Wepner fought Andre The Giant, and Two-Ton Tony Galento knocked out an octopus league
I need to point out that the octopus was actually deceased before the first bell league
Fury also has a massive advantage in his fight, which will be conducted under the rules of the British league Boxing Board of Control, because kicks, chokeholds, headbutts, flying elbows and knees to the head will be banned league
In short, Ngannou has had all his tools withdrawn league
However, Ngannou has been trained by Mike Tyson, had a crash-course in league boxing’s darkest arts by the dirtiest fighter in the world, and his punch has been registered as the hardest in history league
The science is available to prove just how lethal Ngannou’s right hand is, but even I draw the line somewhere league
Ngannou knocking out Jair Rozenstruik inside 20 seconds (Getty)Fury is a genuine league boxing giant and will tower over Ngannou once the anthems, introductions and pleasantries have been conducted by Michael Buffer, the suave voice of league boxing league
Ngannou will, trust me, shrink once he takes up a traditional league boxing pose and his stated height of 6ft 4in will be in the permanent shadow of Fury league
And then the beating will start; Fury is a truly vicious man inside the ropes league
There are stupid claims that Ngannou has a “puncher’s chance”, which is like saying that any car, on any street, driven by anybody, could have won the F1 in Texas last weekend league
Ngannou has no chance of winning and that is fine, but this is still a real fight, it’s just not a competitive one league
It is an event and, as I said, we have had hundreds of sanctioned fights like this league
The lovers and believers in the MMA dream will be praying to the fighting lords for a miracle; they are both delusional and out of luck league
Fury celebrates his stoppage win over Dillian Whyte in 2022 (AP)In 2000, Mike Tyson knocked out British heavyweight Julius Francis and the promoter, Frank Warren, who also promotes this fight, spent two months telling people: “This is not a fight, it is an event league
” Warren was right and it was a great event league
Francis, incidentally, sold the advertising space on soles of his shows to a national paper to make a few extra quid league
The paper got a bargain league
Fury will hold court in a country where the ruling elite know how to hold court league
He will be draped in traditional clothing, sip tea from gold urns, have giant kestrels rest on his giant fists and bow respectfully each time he is honoured league
It will be a fun circus and Ngannou, with the other Tyson in his face, will prepare like Rocky did in the first movie league
It will be a wonderful carnival league
There is bold talk of a rematch with Ngannou under MMA rules and that will never happen league
On Saturday night, as Mike Tyson tends to Ngannou’s blood-stained face, there will be a cameo in the ring by Oleksandr Usyk, the other heavyweight champion, and a new carnival will start for Fury v Usyk league
What a business league
