Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou faced off before their historic bout this weekend and Twitter has exploded, as John Fury goes topless.
The Gypsy King and former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, faced off ahead of their scheduled bout and things escalated rather quickly.
Mike Tyson was in attendance as he sat alongside the Cameroonian MMA fighter and Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury, was on stage – with his typically loud charisma in full flow.
The self proclaimed ‘head of the Fury clan’ has been in the headlines over recent weeks, being a loud presence in the build up for KSI vs Tommy Fury and is back on our screens for this upcoming fight.
Fight fans have been left bemused by his actions once again, as John Fury joined his son in the face off with Ngannou, taking his top off and taking centre stage once again.

Fury’s most recent boxing match came over nine months ago, as he demolished Derek Chisora and his opponent, Ngannou most reently beat Cyril Gane, in January 2022.
Boxing purists have belittled the bout, as they expect Tyson Fury to have an easy night against ‘The Predator’ due to this being Ngannou’s first professional boxing bout.
We have seen this crossover before, as Conor McGregor stepped into the ring against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. The American boxer reigned victorious and was untroubled throughout, which is why fight fans expect a similar outcome.
