Fury is the only professional boxer to have faced ex-MMA star Ngannou in the ring so far.

The WBC heavyweight champion clinched a controversial points win over Ngannou in October – despite being knocked down in the third round.

He was quick to praise the Predator after the bout in Saudi Arabia, admitting: “That definitely wasn’t in the script. Francis is a hell of a fighter.

“He’s strong, he’s a big puncher and a lot better boxer than we thought he’d ever be.

“He’s a very awkward man and he’s a very good puncher.

“And I respect him a lot, before the fight and after the fight.”
