“I’d like to express gratitude to Tyson Fury for accepting this fight, understanding the stakes,” Ngannou said at Thursday’s press conference (watch it here). “There’s a possibility he might not stay awake the whole fight. I recognize his bravery and thank him. This training camp felt different. The challenge was distinct. Knowing the scale of the task ahead, we commenced our preparations early.”
“Having Mike Tyson and my coach Dewey Cooper’s presence made a significant difference in my strategy for this fight,” Ngannou continued. “When Mike Tyson joined, one statement of his resonated with me. He mentioned, ‘Remember, he’s just like you with two hands and two feet.’ That insight was powerful. Tyson Fury might be the best in boxing, but that reign may end this Saturday.”

I may put some money on fury in the 5th or 6th
Why would you wait until the 5th or 8th round to put money down?
You should place your get before the fight
I already have done
I went for the 6th
Tyson’s weight is 277…how does that compare to his recent fights?
Ngannou seems heavy at 272…did he fight in the ufc close to the limit or is he heavier?
They both weighed in with clothes on the commentators said
Tracksuits etc and Ngannou also had a heavy watch gifted to him by Chris Ronaldo
Holy fatman, he can’t sport anymore?
So you want Jake to die?
