Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou

Boxings heavyweight champ vs the former UFC heavyweight champ in a boxing match. It's yet to be determined if the belt is up for grabs. I personally am tired of UFC fighters, fighting boxers. If they are gonna meet in the ring, put on the 4 ounce gloves and then meet in the octagon. I don't need to watch the most elite heavyweight boxer on earth pick a part a mixed martial artist. That said, are y'all excited for the fight?

Why would a Fury or Mayweather do that? They have all the leverage.

It is a shambles, in a lot of ways Boxing has brought this on themselves by having so many belts.
1 belt, 1 No. 1 contender and mandatory fights fixed all of this. There is 4 top class/big draw heavy weights which means 6 potential showdowns should have happened. Only 2 of them - Fury/Wilder and AJ/Usyk - have happened in nearly 5 years.
Hypothetically if Fury retires after this - which I'm sure he will say he will... - he will have ended his career vs Whyte, Chisora and a UFC fighter.
Honestly shambolic.

Good for Ngannou to finally get his payday that Dana wouldn’t give to him

There is no incentive for the boxer to fight in a cage match. Fury has already said he is not a cage fighter. Its the MMA guys that want to fight the boxer because of the pay day. Fury is doing him a huge favor just being willing to box an MMA guy, because of the purse. Ngannou has a puncher’s chance and that is all in this.

Hybrid fight is the answer. MMA gloves with Boxing rules in a boxing ring. That would deliver the most excitement.

I'm excited to see how quick Francis Ngannou gets sent to night night land.

No interest in this. People have no idea how good professional boxers are and Fury is the best of the bunch. It's unfathomable what they do with their hands.
I love MMA but it's a totally different gig than boxing.
Wilder is out of this world amazing and Fury picked him apart - what's he going to do with Francis?
Oh well, I guess it's a pay day.

Fury just turned down an opportunity to fight the heavyweight champion of the world and unify the class. So now he wants to go all Jake Paul? What a sissy.

That’s not how this works
Boxing still has the cash to pay these top guys more than the ufc will
