TYSON FURY left boxing fans stunned when he asked Francis Ngannou to reveal his manhood.
The Gypsy King went face-to-face with the former UFC heavyweight champion on Thursday for the first time since the booking of their controversial Saudi showdown next month.
Fury and Ngannou, 35 and 36 respectively, faced off with one another at Wembley last April, an encounter in which the former mentioned the MMA star’s privates.
And he bizarrely did so again at their pre-fight presser, saying: “I get to knock out him, he’s a good-looking lad – I do like him.
“Probably got a big cory as well. Remember that Francis.
“However, it’s unlucky for him that he has to come across me.”

Ngannou shrugged off the awkward comment with a wry smile and made light of it with his response.
He said: “If you know where I came from, you don’t have to ask that question.”
Fury then broke out into song and said: “Come on, come on. Get it out! Get it out!”
The bizarre request was ended by a cackle from the WBC heavyweight champion and a perplexed look from Ngannou.

Boxing fans were quick to comment on Fury’s x-rated request, with one tweeting: “Cringe as f**k.”
Another said: “A f***ing embarrassment to boxing.”
And another said: “What the hell?”
One remarked: “Tyson it was slightly amusing the first time, like the 20th time u made this joke now.”
Another chimed in: “Crazy lol Jesus Christ.”
One perplexed fight fan asked: “Why [does] Tyson keep bringing up Francis’ meat?”
Ngannou goes into his professional boxing debut as a huge underdog but is adamant he’ll shock the world by knocking Fury old cold.
He said: “I’m going to be hunting for that guy’s head, to take it off.”
