Tyson Fury compares himself to iconic movie character as he reveals exactly how he will finish Francis Ngannou fight
TYSON Fury has revealed how he sees his fight with Francis Ngannou panning out.
Amusingly, he also compared himself to a Hollywood movie character as he outlined his tactics.
The pair will square off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
Beforehand, they sat down with Carl Frampton for an interview with TNT Sports.
“I’m going to knock him out inside six rounds,” Fury boldly claimed.
He continued: “Shall I tell you how I am going to do it? I’m going to get on the front foot, high-arm, sicken him with a punishing jab 19 or 20 stone in the face. Boom! Boom! Boom! Bust him up, swell his eyes out, I’ll faint and then bang! KO!
“On the front foot, not running away. On the front foot, hand-eye, let him hit the shoulder, slip, bang, slip, slip bang… down in a heap.
“Listen, no one can take my power. These heavyweights don’t have a chance.”
When asked if he would be able to take a punch from Ngannou, Fury was equally as confident.
“No problem. I’m like a bionic man,” he joked.
He then compared himself to Neo – the character played by Keanu Reeves in the Matrix movies.
He added: “I’m like Neo on the Matrix.”
The 35-year-old Gypsy King’s belt will not be contested but he is putting his undefeated record on the line in the much-maligned showdown.
His Cameroon-born opponent, who left UFC last year and has now signed with fellow MMA promotion Professional Fighters League, has been trained by boxing legend “Iron” Mike Tyson for the clash in Las Vegas.
Stars from all over the world have flown in for the bout, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the list of big names.
Many of the celebrities attended a Gala dinner at the St Regis Hotel last night, with the ex-Manchester United ace joined by his namesake, former Brazilian international Ronaldo at the event.

There was also another huge megastar in attendance, none other than Eminem.
However, Ngannou had to double take after initially ignoring the American rapper.
A clip emerged on social media from yesterday’s bash that showed “The Predator” walking past Eminem before his coach, Dewey Cooper, grabbed Ngannou’s attention.
