It will be one of the most important boxing matches of this season as Tyson Fury will meet Francis Ngannou on Saturday, in Saudi Arabia.
Although his title is not in question, the 35-year-old Tyson Fury thinks he will floor Ngannou.
“I have been working to knock him out cold.
“I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out.
“There is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night.
“He is a big strong guy but so am I.

“I’m a big strong guy, obviously powerful, or else I would not be world heavyweight champion.
“I believe there are levels to the game — and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night.”
“I’ve been hit by the biggest punchers that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still No1.
“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power.
“I’m not convinced. I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge — and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way.”
Ngannou’s declaration
Cameroon-born Ngannou, 37, has been trained by boxing legend Mike Tyson for the contest and expects to defeat Fury.
“A dream is free. So I can dream. I always allow myself to dream.”
“I can’t change what people think or how they view it, until I get there and fight and make them take me more seriously,” Ngannou confessed to Sky Sports.
“Think the only way to change that is to show how I can fight, how I can box. Because they are right not to believe in something that they haven’t seen. And you can’t blame them until you show them.”
“I might not have that power at the end of the day – but I just believe in it. A dream is free. So I can dream. So I always allow myself to dream,” he declared. “You know what other dream I have. To beat Tyson Fury.
This match is going to be the match of the millions with two boxers that are expected to win high prices for this game, with the overall profits in more than €100 million for the two boxers together.
