Tyson Fury just fought Francis Ngannou in a very close boxing match. He barely survived with a controversial majority decision victory. However, he already has his next opponent booked with Oleksandr Usyk. The undefeated Ukrainian is set to face ‘The Gypsy King’ for the heavyweight title very soon. Recently, UFC superstar Conor McGregor shared his opinion on the fight between Usky and Fury.
After the Ngannou vs. Fury fight, Conor McGregor was interviewed at ringside by TNT Sports. He looked very excited as he talked about Ngannou’s performance and his love for heavyweight boxing. In the middle of the interview, ‘The Notorious One’ starts discussing Tyson Fury’s next opponent, Oleksandr Usyk.
“Usyk is an ask now but I don’t think Usyk is as powerful as Ngannou,” said McGregor. According to Mystic Mac, Tyson Fury was having an issue dealing with the power of ‘The Predator’ but he won’t have the same issue with Oleksandr Usyk.
Furthermore, he praised Ngannou for his beautiful clinch uppercuts in his boxing debut. “I’m telling you, Ngannou has been sending heads to the ceiling in mixed martial arts,” said a very excited McGregor. Usyk has yet to make any comments on McGregor’s remark.
