Fury: "I'll Smash Ngannou's Face in the Cage"

In an interview with DAZN Boxing, WBC heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) expressed his desire to fight former UFC champion Francis Ngannou (0-1) in a cage.

"I want AJ to beat Ngannou because of how he's acting after I helped him earn. It's crazy how money can change people; he was very humble when I fought him, and now he's all cocky.

After I deal with Usyk twice, and if Ngannou wins, I want to go into the cage with him in small gloves, 100 percent. Because yesterday, he spouted all sorts of nonsense that boxing is protecting me, but I don't think so. I think I'll smash his face in the cage," said Fury.

Previously, Francis claimed he would beat any boxer if the fight were under MMA rules.

Last October, Fury and Ngannou met in the Cameroonian's debut boxing match. Tyson won by split decision but experienced a knockdown.

The fight between Francis Ngannou and Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) is scheduled for March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
