FIGHT PREDICTION
Tyson Fury will come into this crossover bout with Francis Ngannou after failing to agree terms with the likes of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. This money-spinning bout in Saudi Arabia has been questioned by many of Fury’s critics with him seemingly dodging a ‘proper’ fight rather than what is likely to be nothing more than an exhibition. Ngannou could well go toe-to-toe with the experienced boxer but his skills are likely to be nowhere near that of his opponent and Fury should win comfortably, by KO if he takes the fight seriously.
TIP: Fury to win by KO, TKO or DQ
