Mike Tyson eager to train Francis Ngannou for October fight with Tyson Fury: ‘He has a hard punch’

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is eager to train Francis Ngannou ahead of his big-money fight with ‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury on October 28, in Saudi Arabia.

Ngannou and Fury have seemingly had the desire to fight each other for years. But, a legit fight was never signed, sealed, or scheduled until recently. Now, the big money fight the world has been waiting for, for years, is finally set in stone. However, since Ngannou has vacated his throne atop the UFC heavyweight division, this fight does not really carry the same implications as it once might have done.
