Tyson Fury Makes Startling Guarantee To Francis Ngannou Ahead Of Boxing Fight /

Tyson Fury has one last message for Francis Ngannou.

This Saturday (October 28), Fury and Ngannou will collide in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in a boxing match scheduled for 10 rounds. For Fury, he'll look to get in some good work and avoid disaster, as he has a title unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk in the near future. For Ngannou, the mission is to play spoiler and pull off a massive upset over "The Gypsy King."

As it stands now, Fury is a massive betting favorite over Ngannou. He has far more boxing experience over the former UFC heavyweight champion. With that said, Fury knows all too well not to underestimate a power puncher.

Following the official weigh-ins for the fight, Tyson Fury was interviewed by TNT Sports on stage. "The Gypsy King" discussed what he plans on doing this Saturday.

"Yeah, I think he's big fat sausage and I'll knock his fat out," Fury said. "We don't get paid for long, we get paid for short, and I'm gonna make it nice and short for him."

Fury went on to reveal if anything about Ngannou's MMA background gives him pause.

"Absolutely nothing," Fury said. "It's like a table tennis champion facing [Novak] Djokovic in Wimbledon final. Totally different."

The WBC heavyweight champion then gave quite the guarantee for the Francis Ngannou fight before revealing future plans.

"I'm gonna knock the motherf***** out, and then I'm gonna take the week off," Fury said. "I don't wanna hear a word from any of you guys about boxing. Let me have some time with me family, and I'll come and take on the little guy [Oleksandr Usyk]."
