Billy Joe Saunders, a former two-division champion, recently expressed his views on the hypothetical match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. According to him, even if Fury was not at his best, he would still dominate in a fight against Ngannou.
Saunders’ comments come amidst ongoing speculation about a potential face-off between heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury and UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou. The idea has been floating around for quite some time now with fans from both sides eager to see how such an encounter would unfold.
In Saunders’ opinion though, there is no question that Tyson Fury would emerge victorious. He believes that even if “The Gypsy King” were only a fraction of himself during the bout, Ngannou wouldn’t be able to land a single punch on him 🥊
Fury’s skill set is indeed impressive. His agility and quickness are extraordinary for someone of his size. Moreover, he possesses great defensive skills which make it difficult for opponents to land clean punches on him.
Ngannou too has proven himself as one of the most formidable fighters in recent times with knockout power that can end fights abruptly. However, Saunders doesn’t think this will be enough when pitted against someone like Fury who excels in dodging attacks while landing powerful counter-punches.
Saunders went further by suggesting that any version of Tyson – whether fully fit or slightly off form – could easily handle whatever comes his way from Ngannou’s corner without breaking much sweat.
While these statements might seem overly confident or biased towards Tyson given their friendship history together; they also serve as testament to just how highly regarded “The Gypsy King” is within boxing circles worldwide due to his unbeaten record and overall dominance inside ring over years past.
This isn’t first time either where we’ve heard similar remarks being made regarding potential crossover bouts involving MMA fighters stepping into boxing rings – most notably Conor McGregor’s infamous showdown against Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
However, it’s important to remember that these are just opinions and speculations. The outcome of any fight depends on numerous factors including the fighters’ form on the day, their mental state, preparation strategy among other things.
Therefore, while Saunders’ prediction might sound convincing enough; unless we actually get to see Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou square off inside a ring – everything remains purely hypothetical for time being.
In conclusion, Billy Joe Saunders is certain about one thing – Tyson Fury would be too much for Francis Ngannou if they were ever to meet in a boxing match. However as fans across globe eagerly await such an encounter; only time will tell whether his predictions hold true or not.
