Five potential opponents for Jake Paul on boxing return
One of the biggest fight events of the year gets underway on Saturday night as WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury faces former UFC world champion Francis Ngannou in a special crossover boxing event in Saudi Arabia.
The Gypsy King is still undefeated and will not be defending his belt on this occassion as his opponent is making his professional debut as a boxer and therefore doesn’t have a ranking.
Naturally, that makes Fury the overwhelming favourite to win this contest, but Ngannou didn’t get the the top of UFC for no reason.
The African fighter is said to have the hardest punch in the world and one deadly blow to the head of Tyson could provide a huge upset. Ngannou can also call on some expert advice from a man who knows all about knocking out another boxer, none other than all-time great Mike Tyson.
The former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world has been training Ngannou to help him prepare for this bout. Who knows what effect that could have on the outcome?
