Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury is starting to gain a lot of steam as people are talking about the big UFC vs boxing fight. Eddie Hearn recently spoke out and gave his take on the fight between the two.
Eddie Hearn was recently on The MMA Hour and he gave his take on the fight. The UFC heavyweight champion is really serious about wanting to make the fight with Tyson Fury happen.
“It’s a big fight. I actually don’t [think it happens.] I don’t know the contractual situation,” Hearn said. “I think Tyson Fury’s up with ESPN or about to be and Ngannou’s up with the UFC, maybe Dana comes in and does it himself, or maybe I do it with Dana. I don’t know…
“Big fight. Big fight. But it’s the contracts, I can’t imagine Dana doing a fight with Bob Arum, how long the contracts are, is Ngannou gonna re-sign? The Ngannou situation, I would be very surprised if Ngannou left the UFC without Dana White having some kind of involvement or control.”
The interest level in the fight is a little bit mixed for Eddie Hearn as he isn't interested in watching a fight between Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury. There is another person that could make an interesting fight with the UFC champion.
“I’m interested in any big fight that does big numbers,” Hearn said. “I’m not really interested as a boxing purist because [it’s a mismatch]. They’re big boys. One punch can change everything, but I prefer Dillian Whyte against Ngannou, maybe with a little bit of mixed, hybrid rules. Because Dillian Whyte is a kickboxer, he can grapple as well. But anything like that is exciting.”
