While the fight may be Ngannou’s debut in the boxing world, The Predator is confident that he can beat The Gypsy King.

Ngannou isn’t just confident of a victory; he believes he can hurt Fury so severely that the champion won’t be able to face Oleksandr Usyk two months later.

As noted by BBC, Fury and Usyk will face off in December for an undisputed world heavyweight title fight.

With that fight looming large, Ngannou has warned Fury that he won’t be medically cleared for that fight after he is done with him, The Mirror reported.

"I don't know what's the minimum medical suspension in boxing, but I really don't understand how Tyson can fight in December after what's going to happen on October 28," he said.

Fury is the favourite going into the bout, but Ngannou has been training hard for the bout.

The MMA star has been training with Mike Tyson for his fight with The Gypsy King.

Ngannou is bringing in the big guns for his upcoming fight against Fury.

The former UFC champion will make his professional boxing debut when he takes on the WBC Heavyweight champion on October 28, Sports Brief reported.

With Fury bringing in UFC heavyweight Tom Aspinall as a training partner for the bout, Ngannou has brought in a former boxing heavyweight champ to help train him.

Sports Brief also reported on Fury bringing in the big guns for his bout against Cameroonian fighter Francis Ngannou.

The WBC Heavyweight Champion will take on the ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.

Fury looks to better his chances by bringing in Aspinall to help him prepare for the battle against the heavyweight.
