@@NorthLondon-pm6xy It’s better for the each sports champions & contenders to fight as first priority I agree Usyk vs Fury should’ve been made first, but Francis didn’t leave for this match in particular he left to revolutionize pay for MMA guys & not bow to the monopoly & yes to get rich from boxing. Also it’s Jones fault the Ngannou fight didn’t happen he didn’t need 3 years to bulk. People wouldn’t be as mad about it if he was facing Wilder or AJ because it wouldn’t be holding up a championship bout. But I don’t think boxing & MMA should go their separate ways, their histories are intertwined & there’s always gonna be some matchups from that can be cool to see especially the MMA guys with really good hands. People say MMA guys have no shot when dudes with mid-bad boxing have been the poster child’s for it- Askren, Woodley, & Diaz were never good boxers in MMA even a little bit those were always stupid choices, there’s always been guys that would be much more interesting to see box but they aren’t the ones going for it & who could be competitive. Conor won the first 5 rounds against Floyd & yeah Floyd was sandbagging to let him get tired but that says a lot if that was him gameplan because why wouldn’t he stand & bang with the shitty MMA guy why did he need to be tired for him to go for the kill? It’s not an exhibition it’s a pro fight no matter how much of a mismatch it seems like Francis is a heavyweight champion from punching people in the face, this is a legit pro bout with big risk on Tyson’s part. The match isn’t suppose to be close but neither were his Wilder fights especially the 3rd one, the punchers chance that Ngannou & Wilder have are what makes it interesting. I bet Fury will be dancing I don’t know how much he’ll meet Ngannou in the middle. Also this isn’t even an abnormal thing we’ve seen in boxing, the best guys take fights against absolute cans with no Wikipedia page or journeymen all the time to boost their records, they have just as good of a chance of winning as Ngannou does so really it’s nothing to scoff at other than that it held up the Usyk fight.

Francis said there was a rematch clause, Tyson said there isn’t?

God bless him and his family. I'm sure he will help so many people with the millions that he will win with all his dangerous line of work. Good luck champ!

One of his biggest problems is going to be the weight. It's rare for a guy to be that big and do well in boxing. The best heavyweight are around 220-240 lbs in boxing. Except if you are Tyson Fury. He is one of the very few heavyweights that can get away with being almost 300. Look how sloppy Anthony Joshua looks with all that muscle and he has way more experience in boxing than Ngannou.
