The Brazilian can only see one winner in Saudi Arabia.

Brazilian MMA star Junior Dos Santos has had his say on the crossover clash between WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. 

The fight is set to take place on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and with this contest being Ngannou's professional boxing debut, Fury is being billed as a massive favourite to get the win. 

This is a view also held by Dos Santos who believes Fury will be victorious, but he had plenty of praise for Ngannou and would love to see the 37-year-old shock the world. 

"Well, a fight’s a fight, you never know what is going to happen, you always have a chance," Dos Santos told DAZN

"I see very little chance for Francis Ngannou, I’ll be rooting for him, I will want him to win, it would be great.

"Everything he has been doing for the sport, opening different doors for the MMA athletes, I really like what he has been doing."

Dos Santos then went onto explain why Ngannou is likely to struggle against Fury and what makes the latter such a special talent inside the ring. 

"But when we talk about boxing, it’s a completely different world," Dos Santos continued. 

"Tyson Fury is an amazing guy not just because of his size, but the way he moves with that size. He has a lot of advantages."
