Tyson Fury calls out UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou for a BARE KNUCKLE fight

Tyson Fury has insisted he would be open to having a bare knuckle fight with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou - and vowed to knock him out with one punch. Fury revealed in June he has no interest of having an MMA fight but would take on Ngannou in a boxing match in the cage once he has handled his business with Wilder. Tyson Fury wants to have a bare knuckle fight with UFC star Francis Ngannou Fury said Ngannou hasn't been hit by a world-class fighter and he'd KO him with one punch Now the self-styled Gypsy King has talked up the possibility of him facing Ngannou in a bare knuckle fight. The Gypsy King started a rivalry with Ngannou by saying he'd 'roast' him in a fight Ngannou responded with an image of Fury badly cut from his gruelling battle with Otto Wallin Fury and Ngannou's rivalry began earlier this year when the Brit said the UFC champion would be 'easy work' after he had dealt with Anthony Joshua.
