FRANCIS NGANNOU insists Tyson Fury owes him a rematch – and he’s willing to forego a crack at undisputed glory to get it.

The former UFC heavyweight champ embarrassed The Gypsy King in his professional boxing debut last October, dropping him in the third round of their Saudi showdown.

Fury eked out a controversial split decision victory over the boxing novice to preserve next month’s undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Ngannou is expected to be ringside for the historic clash but won’t pursue former pound-for-pound Usyk if he hands the Brit his first professional loss

The MMA man-mountain told TMZ: “I’m not looking for the winner of Tyson Fury [and Usyk]. “I’m looking for Tyson.

“Tyson owes me a fight. I don’t give a sh*t about the winner of Usyk and Tyson.

“I’m coming after Tyson. Win or lose, I want Tyson.”

Ngannou, 37, will return to the ring in March for a lucrative Saudi showdown with former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua

The Cameroonian clubber is relishing the Riyadh rumble but admits the element of surprise won’t be in his favour come fight night.

He said: “He’s seen me box already, so he knows a little bit what is coming after.

ANTHONY JOSHUA VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER BOUT

“Unlike Tyson Fury, that was out of the blue, didn’t know what to expect. Joshua kind of knows what to expect.

“I think this time I need to put it up even more to get the job done.”

That being said, the Professional Fighters League pounder believes he has what it takes to emphatically thwart AJ’s hopes of becoming a three-time heavyweight champion.

During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “Eddie [Hearn] is a promoter, that’s a routine for him.

“He says the same thing all the time, just not about Francis Ngannou but somebody else.

“That’s just what he does. The date is set.

“It’s two months from now, and if any of them think they’re going to have easy money, that’s too bad for them.

“If AJ takes the punch that Fury took, I don’t guarantee that he’s standing up.

“I’ve heard that he doesn’t have a chin. I’m going to find out.”
