Francis Ngannou's session with Mike Tyson made the wrong impression
He expressed doubt about Ngannou's training and referred to the trainer holding the pads as "so-called". John Fury hopes that Ngannou is not taking the preparation lightly and that the footage is intended as a joke or a strategy.
"Just seen Francis Ngannou and Mike Tyson and that so-called trainer what's got the pads on, seen the open workout," John said on Instagram.
"I hope he's kidding along and he's playing possum here. I hope that's a joke and intended to be a laugh."
