Unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has confirmed he will rematch former UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou in the future – ahead of his May championship unification fight against fellow world gold holder, Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury, the current undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, has been sidelined since he featured against the Batié knockout artist back in August of last year in the Middle East, narrowly retaining his unbeaten record in a close, controversial split decision win over ex-UFC star, Ngannou.
And forced from a championship fight against Ukraine favorite, Usyk later this month, Fury suffered a nasty laceration after catching a stray elbow during a sparring session, requiring stitches to close the cut, and forcing the cancellation of the clash.
