The Showdown
Boxing fans were left in shock when Tyson Fury made a controversial request to Francis Ngannou at their pre-fight press conference. The Gypsy King, who is set to face off against the former UFC heavyweight champion next month in Saudi Arabia, asked Ngannou to reveal his manhood in a bizarre x-rated demand.
Face-to-Face
Fury and Ngannou met face-to-face for the first time since their fight was booked, and tensions were already running high. As Fury walked around the stage during the presser, he went on a huge rant, ultimately leading to his unexpected request.
A History of Encounters
This isn't the first time Fury has mentioned Ngannou's private parts. The two fighters previously faced off at Wembley last April, where Fury made a comment about Ngannou's manhood. And at the pre-fight press conference, Fury bizarrely brought it up again, saying, "Probably got a big corey as well. Remember that Francis."
Ngannou's Response
Ngannou, unfazed by Fury's strange comment, responded with a wry smile. When asked about it, he simply stated, "If you know where I came from, you don't have to ask that question."
Comments from Fans
Boxing fans were quick to react to Fury's x-rated request. Some found it cringe-worthy, with one calling it "a f***ing embarrassment to boxing." Another fan asked why Fury kept bringing up Ngannou's meat, while others simply couldn't believe what they were witnessing.
Ngannou's Pledge
Despite being the underdog in his professional boxing debut, Ngannou is determined to shock the world by knocking Fury out cold. He boldly declared, "I'm going to be hunting for that guy's head, to take it off."
