However, the build-up to this colossal showdown hasn’t been without its share of drama. In a recent interview, John Fury, Tyson’s father, caused a stir by demolishing the set, amplifying the tension leading up to Tommy Fury’s bout.
Discussing the anticipated Fury-Ngannou faceoff, John shared his concerns about what his son might face inside the ring. He expressed high regard for Ngannou, the former UFC champion, expecting him to infuse the boxing bout with his intense MMA fighting style. “I’m expecting Tyson to come out with a broken leg or a broken arm,” John Fury stated, emphasizing the potential danger and intensity of the upcoming bout.
Highlighting the fight’s brutal nature, he added, “Exhibition my backside, they’re going to kill each other, them pair.” While this crossover fight promises to be an explosive contest, only time will reveal if John Fury’s concerns materialize in the ring.
