TYSON Fury has revealed how he sees his fight with Francis Ngannou panning out.
Amusingly, he also compared himself to a Hollywood movie character as he outlined his tactics.
The pair will square off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
Beforehand, they sat down with Carl Frampton for an interview with TNT Sports.
“I’m going to knock him out inside six rounds,” Fury boldly claimed.
He continued: “Shall I tell you how I am going to do it? I’m going to get on the front foot, high-arm, sicken him with a punishing jab 19 or 20 stone in the face. Boom! Boom! Boom! Bust him up, swell his eyes out, I’ll faint and then bang! KO!

“On the front foot, not running away. On the front foot, hand-eye, let him hit the shoulder, slip, bang, slip, slip bang… down in a heap.
“Listen, no one can take my power. These heavyweights don’t have a chance.”
When asked if he would be able to take a punch from Ngannou, Fury was equally as confident.
“No problem. I’m like a bionic man,” he joked.
