“UFC champ Francis Ngannou is here today,” Tyson shared on the ring. “He’s on my hit list in an exhibition bout; however, we can fight in a cage, with gloves, without gloves, it doesn’t matter, we can make it happen. I think everyone would enjoy it. Ngannou is a very big guy; I’m an enormous guy too, so it will be a fight of the Titans for certain.”

The Gypsy King got back in the ring for a trilogy clash with Derek Chisora at the end of last year, and Fury won it in the 10^th round.

Tyson was close to fighting Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title this year, but talks failed because both camps couldn’t agree on the money.
