Tyson Fury has suggested the terms for a fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Nagnnou.

Ngannou was called into the ring by Fury last April at Wembley Stadium after Fury had defeated Dillian Whyte to defend his WBC belt.

The Briton suggested he would retire from the sport and an exhibition hybrid rules clash appealed to both men as a high profile, money-spinning event. 

Fury has since fought Derek Chisora, beating him for the third time, while Ngannou has left UFC. There is an undisputed clash on the cards with Oleksandr Usyk for Fury, but he has started suggesting he will move on from the fight if contracts are not finalised soon.

Speaking to Seconds Out, Fury put forward the idea of the conditions for a bout with Ngannou down the line.

“Francis Ngannou, I know you’re out of contract with the UFC,” he said. “You want to earn some big boy money, come see the ‘Gypsy King’ and let’s do a big, big fight for the baddest MF on the planet.

“Let’s kick it up spicy in a cage, four-ounce gloves, under Queensbury, and let’s have a badass referee like “Iron” Mike Tyson.”
