"He Should Thank Me": Fury on His Role in Ngannou's Career

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) believes that his former opponent, Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs), should be grateful to him.

"He really should thank me because throughout his entire UFC career, he made about 1 million dollars, but in the fight against me, he earned about 6 or 7 million dollars.

So, he should genuinely thank me. Instead, I had to scold him in front of a bunch of people because he had something to say on camera after I paid him the biggest purse.

He's an ungrateful wretch," Fury stated.

Fury and Ngannou boxed in 2023, with Francis losing but managing to knock down his opponent. On March 8th, Ngannou will face Anthony Joshua in a bout.
