Derek Chisora has felt the full force of Tyson Fury three times and believes he will beat Francis Ngannou – but will have to climb off the canvas to do so.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou and current WBC heavyweight king Fury are set to fiight on October 28 under boxing rules.
And no-one knows what it’s like to fight Fury better than Chisora who took on the ‘Gypsy King’ on three occasions and lost every time, twice by stoppage.
With that being said, Chisora still believes that under the tutelage of Mike Tyson, Ngannou has what it takes to floor Fury.
“Yes [I’ve been watching him train with Mike Tyson], that’s a big fight,” Chisora told SecondsOut.
“Tyson is going to win it, but I think Tyson is going to get dropped by Ngannou.”
And Chisora is not the only one who thinks Ngannou has the ability to hurt the unbeaten Mancunian, as even Fury’s dad, John Fury, thinks the man from Cameroon can do some damage.
“I do believe [Ngannou’s] going to bring the smoke,” Fury Sr told SecondsOut via Freebets.com.
“I’m expecting Tyson to come out with a broken leg or a broken arm.
“I’m glad they’re paying him well, because if they weren’t paying him well I wouldn’t put him up against Ngannou.
“He’s going to get knocked about, Tyson, and he knows that.
“Exhibition my backside – they’re going to kill each other them pair.”
