Under the glitz and glamour of Saudi Arabia lies a lethal encounter brewing between WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou. The fierce competitors rattled the media in a thrilling press conference in Riyadh ahead of their anticipated 'Battle of the Baddest' bout.
Tyson, unperturbed by the former UFC champion's power and ferocity, confidently dismissed Ngannou as just another challenge. He bared his battle strategy whilst daring his rival, "...If it's anything less [than a 12-round war], then it's going to be an early night."
Fury, known as 'The Gypsy King', remained steadfast and upped the ante by dismissing Ngannou's beliefs in his raw power. On the other hand, Ngannou gaining guidance from legendary Mike Tyson and Dewey Cooper, was eloquent about chopping down the towering challenge that is Tyson Fury.
However, Fury's highly anticipated battle is just the beginning as he divulged an agreed unification fight against Oleksandr Usyk slated for December or January.
