Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou: Paddy Pimblett predicts winner

Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou: Paddy Pimblett predicts winnerGettyImages

UFC star Paddy Pimblett has predicted that Tyson Fury will win his fight with MMA star Francis Ngannou.

Former UFC champion Ngannou left the UFC to join PFL, but before then he will fight WBC world heavyweight champion Fury on October 28 as he makes the crossover to boxing.

Ngannou is heavy-handed but inexperienced in the ring, and it is not clear if the world title will be on the line, but many will be tuning in for novelty alone.

Speaking to SLOTH BOXX, Pimblett predicted that Fury would have too much for the Cameroonian, and believes nobody can beat the Briton.

He said: “I think Tyson Fury will keep him at range and jab him, jab his head off. It’s a completely different sport. 

"Ngannou has that one punch knockout power like [Deontay] Wilder has, that’s why Wilder’s such a threat. But I just can't see him beating Fury, I can't really see anyone beating Fury.

“I think Fury keeps them all at range, jabs all their heads off, and keeps them at range for 12 rounds.”
