Russian boxer Maxim Babanin, who defeated Tyson Fury at an amateur level, spoke about the upcoming fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
Championat website quotes Babanin as saying:
As for preparation - I would prepare as hard as I can as well, but I wouldn't expect anything in the later rounds. I would probably try to do damage to him faster, to get in more punches. The tactic is win or fall. If it was about me now, I would have only one plan: hit or lose.
Fury's last fight was against Derek Chisora in December 2022. In this confrontation, Tyson won by technical knockout in the tenth round. He has 33 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no losses.
Ngannou last fought Ciryl Gane in January 2022 at UFC 270. That fight went the full distance and ended in Francis' favor with a unanimous decision from the judges. He has 17 wins and three losses on his record.
