Francis Ngannou makes his boxing bow in October when he faces Tyson Fury, but the former UFC star is not expecting his imminent rival to join him inside a cage anytime soon.
Ngannou is taking a significant risk when he faces Fury due to his lack of experience inside the boxing ring as he’s making his debut against the current WBC champion.
For a decent part of this year, Fury was locked in negotiations with the team of Oleksandr Usyk as he looked to secure an undisputed heavyweight title fight.
Terms could not be agreed between the pair so Fury will now have to deal with Ngannou and with speculation linking the Brit to an MMA battle, Ngannou isn't confident that happens.
"I don't think Tyson would do that, that would be suicidal," said Ngannou when speaking whether Fury would switch to MMA to fight him on The MMA Hour.
