A video of Francis Ngannou practicing a jab and a body shot has left fans and critics feeling more certain that he is out of his depth against Tyson Fury than ever before.
The UFC heavyweight champion will take on the WBC heavyweight boxing champion in a clash in Saudi Arabia on October 28.
The fight has been questioned with Fury being undefeated against other boxers who have trained in that discipline for decades and that the Cameroonian will simply be out-classed against a master of another discipline, one that he hasn’t trained for.
Particularly in the wake of Fury‘s bouts against Deontay Wilder, a boxer of 15 years who went on to win an Olympic medal and the WBC belt. He is known for his devastating power but still couldn’t KO Fury, leaving others wondering what Ngannou is supposed to do.
His boxing video with the legendary Mike Tyson hasn’t helped calm those thoughts. The 57-year-old attempted to show Ngannou how to jab and follow with a quick body shot and the UFC fighter was anything but fast.
Tyson actually looks faster and more fluid, despite not fighting competitively since 2005 and being 21 years younger than his client.
The video led former IBF super-middleweight Caleb Truax to say, “That’s as awful as a jab can be.”
Further comments included: “Not looking good for Ngannou here. Fury might even have to carry him a few rounds.”
A second read: “Iron Mike would probably put up a better fight in a boxing ring that Ngannou would. This is going to be embarrassing.”
And a third wrote: “Tyson looks quicker and he’s 57.”
