Mike Tyson will be assisting on the training of Francis Ngannou ahead of the PFL heavyweight's boxing match against Tyson Fury on October 28.
And early into the process, "Iron Mike" has been impressed at what he's seen thus far.
"By working with him yesterday, [Ngannou] has the aptitude and I see a good [boxing] future in his life," Tyson told ESPN's First Take recently. "It's not going to be as one-sided as people think it is."
"I was speaking with Francis when he came in and I asked him 'are you sore today?' and he said 'no.' That was a big mistake. But we're going to work him, we're going to exert everything he has for this particular match because he's going to have to do that," Tyson continued.
"I definitely think it's going to be a tougher fight than anyone thinks."
