Tyson Fury’s next fight is set to be an exhibition bout against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
Boxing fans will be left dissapointed after Eddie Hearn revealed the Gypsy King will be facing Ngannou and not Oleksandr Usyk.
Speaking to Boxing Social, Hearn, was asked about rumours of a Fury vs Ngannou fight. He said:
‘Yes, I believe so, this is what I’ve heard.
‘It will be an exhibition apparently, no knockdowns or anything. I don’t know, I’m only telling you what I’ve heard.
‘Who knows what’s what, but I think that is apparently what is gonna be the next fight. Disappointing, but it is what it is. It’s a big event, but I wanted to see him fight Oleksandr Usyk.
‘It’d be nice to get an undisputed champion, but Tyson’s in charge of his own career and I’m sure he’s gonna make a load of money, good luck to him.’
