John Fury expects son Tyson to suffer a broken LEG or ARM after being ‘knocked about’ in Francis Ngannou fight
JOHN FURY expects his son Tyson to end up with a broken LEG or ARM by the time he finishes fighting Francis Ngannou.
The pair of heavyweight superstars will meet in a crossover clash on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
It will see Ngannou make the move from the MMA cage to the boxing ring following his UFC departure.
And John expects the former UFC champion to bring every ounce of his rugged martial arts style into the bout.
He told Seconds Out via Freebets.com: “I hold him in the highest esteem and the highest regard.
“He’s world champion at his game, he’s taking on the best in the world, taking it seriously and I do believe he’s going to bring the smoke.
“I’m expecting Tyson to come out with a broken leg or a broken arm.
“He’s not going to come out unscathed and I’m glad they’re paying him well because if they weren’t paying him well I wouldn’t put him in against Francis Ngannou.
“He’s going to get knocked about, Tyson, and he knows that, exhibition my backside – they’re going to kill each other them pair.”
Ngannou has called on the help of American legend Mike Tyson – who John named his son after – for his boxing debut.

Iron Mike has been helping train the Cameroonian in his Las Vegas camp.
And John said: “Bare in mind he’s got Mike Tyson there and he wants to impress Mike Tyson.
“And then Tyson [Fury] has got an ego as big as Morecambe so the stage is set for a battle royal.
“He couldn’t have a better mentor in his camp than the great Mike Tyson, I’m sure Mike will show him the boxing moves he needs.”
