Fury is in his element when it’s fight week. All of the trash-talking comes out, and updates on what he will do in the future change by the minute. Fury mentioned potentially signing a ten-fight deal and that he has over 150 million in the bank. Nothing surprises us with Fury, as a lot of it is just talk until he goes through with what he says he will do. This fight with Ngannou is a money grab, and although Fury could win early in this one, he will stretch it out a bit to make it worth everyone's purchase.

Fury will toy with Ngannou for a few rounds and make him work until he tires out. That’s when Fury will start to take things seriously and look for the finish. He won’t have to do much later in the fight, as Ngannou should be a wide-open target by the fifth round.

Ngannou doesn’t have a chance to win on Saturday night. You can’t just come into boxing and expect to beat the lineal heavyweight champion from just one training camp. It doesn’t work that way, and he will quickly learn how different boxing is from MMA. Ngannou’s chances of winning this fight have to be in the early rounds, and if he can catch Fury with his guard down, things may get interesting. Ngannou will make the best of this money-making opportunity, but he doesn’t stand a chance against Fury even with Mike Tyson in his corner.

TYSON FURY VS. FRANCIS NGANNOU PREDICTION

That’s when Fury will stop the charade and finish Ngannou. Fury will earn a fifth-round knockout, which will circulate all over social media.
