FRANCIS NGANNOU showed off his hulking physique following a brutal training session in preparation for his showdown with Tyson Fury.
The former UFC heavyweight champion will lock horns with The Gypsy King in a controversial crossover clash on October 28.
Cameroonian clubber Ngannou, 36, has yet to officially begin training camp for his professional boxing debut.
But that hasn’t stopped The Predator from putting in the work in the searing Las Vegas heat.
MMA knockout artist Ngannou shared a video of himself wringing out a sweat covered shirt outdoors with his 4.8million Instagram followers.
His accompanying caption read: “Sweat Equity.”

Another said: “Sweat? that’s a whole flood.”
And another said: “Trust.”
One remarked: “Smoking that Furry pack real soon.”

Ngannou’s camp for Fury – which is expected to get underway in the coming weeks – will be overseen by none other than former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
