Tyson Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, believes there is a good chance of a rematch between Fury and Ngannou in the future, as Ngannou’s performance in their recent fight was much more competitive than anticipated and has positioned him as a serious contender in the heavyweight division.
Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury left fans expecting a potential rematch between the heavyweight titans. Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, expressed his belief in the possibility of a rematch, considering that both fighters have expressed a desire for it. He did emphasize, however, that the focus was currently on Fury’s upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk.
Ngannou’s professional boxing debut against Fury in October shocked the sports world, as he fought Fury to a controversial split decision. Ngannou’s performance has positioned him as a significant figure in combat sports, earning him a spot at No. 10 in the WBC’s updated rankings. Despite the challenging match, Fury narrowly secured a decision victory against Ngannou after battling back from an early knockdown.
In light of the wear and tear Fury experienced during the fight with Ngannou, his upcoming bout against Usyk was postponed to Feb. 17. Warren emphasized that the decision to postpone the fight was the sensible thing to do, as the wear and tear Fury experienced in the match required a break. Regardless, Warren expects Ngannou to continue being a significant force in the heavyweight division.
Overall, there is a good chance that Fury and Ngannou could have a rematch in the future, as both fighters have expressed interest in it. However, the immediate focus is on Fury’s upcoming fight against Usyk, which had been postponed due to the wear and tear Fury experienced in his match against Ngannou.
