Dana White blasts potential Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury as 'f***ing waste of time and money'

Daily Mail  

Dana White has eviscerated the idea of a crossover fight between UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and boxing superstar Tyson Fury. The UFC president has only ever sanctioned one crossover clash, Conor McGregor's lucrative showdown with Floyd Mayweather in 2017, but seems unlikely to afford Ngannou the same leeway. Francis Ngannou is the UFC heavyweight champion but wants to fight Tyson Fury Fury has retired from boxing following his win over Dillian Whyte but talked up the clash But White's most recent comments suggest that the Cameroonian will have to test free agency at the end of this year in order to lock horns with the 'Gypsy King'. Dana White and Co need to decide whether they risk losing Ngannou to free agency Ngannou says refusing to sign a new deal with the UFC has cost him millions.
