FRANCIS NGANNOU has accidentally sent a SHATTERING warning to Tyson Fury – albeit by accident.
The former UFC heavyweight champion is fighting the WBC title holder in a boxing bout in Saudi Arabia on October 28.
The Cameroon-born 37-year-old is currently in Las Vegas training ahead of his money-spinning cross-combat showdown with not many giving him a chance of toppling the undefeated Gypsy King.
However, Ngannou provided a chilling example of the strength he possesses over the weekend when he inadvertently demolished a shop door.
The 6ft 4in powerhouse approached the store in Nevada City and attempted to push the door open.
But after it failed to move, he tried again to gain entry by pushing with a little more force – only to receive a massive shock.

The glass in the door’s window panes suddenly exploded and shattered to the ground, leaving the MMA icon looking stunned.
Ngannou then pulled the door, which saw it open with ease, before stepping over the glass to be confronted by the angry shop owner.
A clip released of the incident, which has no audio, shows the owner remonstrating with Ngannou outside as he surveys the damage.
However, it has now emerged that Ngannou paid for the damages and both he and the elder shopkeeper were later all-smiles as they posed for a selfie together.

Ngannou has enlisted the help of boxing legend Mike Tyson to help him prepare for his mouthwatering clash with Fury.
And Iron Mike has insisted that he will shock the world and knockout the Gypsy King if he connects with his jaw.
But not many others have as much belief in the MMA icon – with Fury’s ex-opponent Derek Chisora even predicting that he will struggle to lay a glove on the boxer after watching him train.
He said: “If he’s fighting and throwing punches like that, it’s going to be a walkover.
“Tyson is in camp now, he is going to come in and knock him out because he has got a big fight in December.”
That is referring to his undisputed heavyweight world title decider with Oleksandr Usyk which is reportedly DONE for December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Tyson’s father John Fury has even claimed that this will be one of his son’s “quickest knockouts”.
He said: “He won’t get out the first round, it’s probably gonna be Tyson’s quickest knockout. If that’s what he’s got, God help him, he’ll get smashed to bits.”
