Boxing legend Mike Tyson has sent a warning to WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury ahead of his fight against Francis Ngannou. 

Tyson has decided to train the former UFC heavyweight champion ahead of this crossover bout which is set for October 28 in Saudi Arabia. 

Ngannou will be hoping Tyson's experience as one of the most feared names inside the ring will put him a strong position to beat one of the world's best heavyweights in his professional boxing debut. 

Now Tyson claims that Fury will be in for a difficult evening when the first bell rings later this month. 

"Hey, good luck brother. Train hard because you’re going to have a tough evening that night!” Tyson said when speaking to ES News

Fury is considered a huge favourite for this contest, and if he manages to get through it unscathed, the British fighter will then begin preparing for an undisputed heavyweight title showdown against Oleksandr Usyk.
