Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr takes part in body shot challenge with Tyson Fury’s next opponent Francis Ngannou


REAL MADRID star Vinicius Junior hilariously took on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in the “body shot challenge”… but did little to trouble the MMA star.

Ngannou, 36, is preparing to make his boxing debut when he takes on WBC champion Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia on October 28.

He has established himself as one of the toughest, hardest-hitting men in the history of the UFC.

And that has led to him challenging people to punch him in the stomach.

Now Real Madrid have shared footage of Vinicius being called out by the heavyweight.

The Brazilian forward, 23, steps up and rattles off a few tame shots at Ngannou.

But the fighter simply shrugs them off by replying: “Come on bro.”

Vinicius then returns to land a few more blows, but again Ngannou does not flinch.

And the clip ends with an unmoved Ngannou adding: “That’s all?”

Reacting to the clip, Ngannou said: “It was a good attempt bro
@vinijr 😂.”

One fan responded: “Hope @vinijr didn’t hurt himself.”

And another added: “Vini gotta get in the gym and get some hands 🥊.”

Real Madrid are in the US for a series of pre-season games – the first of which they won 3-2 against AC Milan on Monday.

They will also face Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus, before beginning their LaLiga campaign away at Athletic Bilbao on August 12.
