Mike Tyson has reacted to Francis Ngannou being placed in the WBC heavyweight rankings after helping him train to fight Tyson Fury.
This week it emerged that the sanctioning body had placed Ngannou in its top 10. The decision outraged many given that the Cameroonian-Frenchman has had just one professional boxing match, and he lost it.
The MMA star did put on an impressive showing against the WBC’s champion Fury when the pair met in Saudi Arabia in October, and even scored a knockdown in the third round before being on the wrong end of a split decision.
Since the fight, Ngannou has stated his desire for a rematch with the Brit, but Fury has now officially announced his much anticipated undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk will take place on February 17th next year.
