Off the back of his spectacular performance en route to a split decision loss to WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury over the course of the weekend, former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou has been backed to not just beat – but knockout incumbent division champion Jon Jones if they ever fought, according to promotional veteran, Brendan Schaub.
Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, made his professional boxing debut over the course of the weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – landing a stunning third round knockdown against Morecambe native, Fury en route to a controversial and dubious split judging loss to the WBC champion.
