MMA vs. Boxing in the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ in the world! - Tyson Fury says defeat to Francis Ngannou is unthinkable

Anticipation is growing ahead of the showdown between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, as the worlds of boxing and UFC collide in Riyadh. A title may not be on the line in Saudi Arabia next month, but Fury highlighted just how much he has to lose should Ngannou claim a seemingly unlikely victory in the Middle East. But the Gypsy King remains confident, and is willing to fight Ngannou in the cage.

Tyson Fury says defeat to Francis Ngannou is unthinkable heading into the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ on October 28, a fight that will be shown live on TNT Sports Box Office.
Fury takes on the former UFC heavyweight champion in Riyadh, and explained the sheer scale of what he is putting on the line against Ngannou.
Defeat to an MMA fighter, regardless of his standing as a former UFC heavyweight title holder, would be seen as humiliation for the current WBC heavyweight champion.
