Carl Froch isn’t overly excited with the upcoming Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou bout.
The pair meet on Saturday night in Riyadh to crown the baddest man on the planet.
But with the former UFC champion making his professional boxing debut against Fury many feel it’s a huge mismatch and are giving Ngannou only a puncher’s chance at best.

And Carl Froch has said that ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson would pose more of a threat to Fury than Ngannou despite being fifty-seven-years-old.
Speaking to BestGamblingSites Froch said:
“Bringing Mike Tyson in has brought more interest to it, it’s like he’s glamorised the event.
“Wherever he goes he’s like a God. He’s a f***ing mad, brilliant fighter and the ultimate fighting machine.
“There’s an argument to say Mike Tyson would give Tyson Fury a better fight than Francis Ngannou.
“He’s got all of that experience, he’s an old man, but he’d give Tyson Fury more of a fight for two or three rounds than Francis Ngannou is going to manage.
“The trainer has got more of a chance than Ngannou, 100 per cent. He has, hasn’t he? You can’t argue with that.”
He continued: “Listen, this is a f***ing sparring session, probably the easiest spar he’s ever had.
“I don’t care that Ngannou can punch, a mule can kick really hard, but he’s never going to be able to line it up.”
“Fury’s not going to be worried about getting hit by that monstrous punch because I’ve seen Ngannou on the pads and he looks terrible.
“He looks like what I’d expect a zero fight novice to look like. Ngannou looked slow, awkward, stiff – how is he going to get near Fury?
“He’s going to get his head absolutely peppered off.”
