- Tyson Fury is demanding some gratitude from Francis Ngannou
- “The Gypsy King” is not interested in Anthony Joshua’s boxing match with “The Predator”
Tyson Fury shared his brutally honest thoughts on Francis Ngannou and the former UFC heavyweight champion’s upcoming boxing match with Anthony Joshua.
Francis should be indebted to Tyson
Speaking to The Stomping Ground, “The Gypsy King” reflected on his epic boxing match with Ngannou. For Fury, he catapulted “The Predator” to where he is now in the boxing lore and he should be grateful for it regardless of what people thought about their fight.
“When I was fighting Ngannou, it was a mismatch and it was a bullsh*t fight, but it is what it is, isn’t it? Styles make fights and that’s what it is… I’m not sure what people expected of the man before that. I know it was supposed to be like a 1,000 to 1 shot, and he was useless and he couldn’t fight and all of that, but he proved everyone wrong, so fantastic for him. I put him on the map, made him a multi-millionaire, and now I’m making him even more money. So he needs to thank me. He needs to get on his knees and kiss my feet, doesn’t he, for what I’ve done for him,” Fury said.
Tyson doesn’t care about Joshua vs. Ngannou
Joshua and Ngannou will finally take on each other inside the ring next week in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. When asked about the much-awaited heavyweight showdown, Fury admitted that he is not excited about it and in fact, he doesn’t care.
“I don’t know and I don’t care, to be honest,” Fury said of Joshua vs. Ngannou. “What am I gonna give you? Listen, whatever happens, happens. The best man will win on the night. They’re heavyweight giants, aren’t they? So anyone can win. Brilliant fights, actually, on Friday. I’m looking forward to the bill, the whole bill,” he added.
Fury secured a decision win over Ngannou in his last fight. On May 18, “The Gypsy King” would try to become the undisputed heavyweight champion as he finally faces Oleksandr Usyk.
