Tyson Fury finally collides with Francis Ngannou later this month and Eddie Hearn doesn’t give the former UFC star much chance of causing an upset.
As well as dismissing Fury’s chances against Ngannou, Hearn also believes that the boxing debutant wouldn’t see out the opening round against Johnny Fisher.
Right now, Fisher as one of many prospects within Hearn’s Matchroom stable and there’s high hopes he can one day operate at the business end of the division.
Despite his own lack of experience in the professional game, Hearn has still backed Fisher to make easy work of Ngannou if the pair were ever to meet.
“Johnny Fisher is our guy, Southern Area champion. Johnny Fisher vs Ngannou is a total mismatch, Fisher would have him out of there in a round,” said Hearn when speaking to Talksport.
“So, Tyson is going to play with him, he’ll do what he wants with him and if you look at the striking ability on the pads, he can’t even hurt Tyson Fury in this fight.”
