Tyson Fury's upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk has sparked comparisons to his previous bout with Francis Ngannou. Ngannou, a former MMA fighter, earned more from the Fury fight than his entire MMA career. He also expressed a preference for boxing over facing Derek Chisora and sees a potential fight with Deontay Wilder as bigger than one against Anthony Joshua. Ngannou's performance against Fury led to his official ranking as No. 10 in the WBC's heavyweight division, potentially setting the stage for a title rematch.
