Cameroon vs Nigeria: Fury explains why Ngannou has a chance to knock out Wilder.

English professional boxer Tyson Fury has given his thoughts on the proposed mega-fight set to Saudi Arabia.

According to several reports, Cameroonian-French professional mixed martial artist Francis Ngannou is set for his boxing debut.

Ngannou recently left the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to pursue a boxing career.

The Predator as Ngannou is known is reportedly set to face off against American professional boxer Deontay Wilder.

Fury on Ngannou vs Wilder

Wilder after back-to-back losses to Fury, the Bronze Bomber returned with a first-round knockout against Finnish professional boxer Robert Helenius.

Fury has described Wilder as his toughest opponent despite two victories in three fights against the American.

The Gypsy King has however provided an explanation on why Wilder will knock out Ngannou if they take to the ring.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Fury explained that Ngannou has the ability to land heavy shots to Wilder's face.

Ngannou has the capacity to receive shots based on his extensive career in the MMA.

Fury, however, believes although Ngannou is physically imposing Wilder's shot will knock him out.

He said, “I suppose he [Ngannou] is big enough to knock anybody out, but I just don’t think he does, because I think Wilder knocks him out first.”

Ngannou is ready to take on Wilder next.

“Wilder is the type of guy who is like a piece of s**t kind of guy. So, I’d like to see Ngannou chin him, knock him spark out, but I just don’t think [that] he would."

There are reports that the fight between Ngannou and Wilder has been agreed with an announcement expected shortly.

Wilder has stated that he intends to return in May and Ngannou has been posting photos working on his first boxing fight.
