      Cameroonian clubber Ngannou, 36, has enlisted the services of boxing legend Tyson for his professional debut.
      And Iron Mike is adamant The Predator won’t be a heavy bag for Fury and insists he’ll give him a run for his money.
      The former undisputed heavyweight champion told ESPN: “He’s had many professional fights, he’s just never experienced a professional boxing match.
      “Working with him yesterday, he has the aptitude and I see a good future in his life, it’s not going to be as one-sided as people thinks it is.”

      Tyson knows Ngannou faces a near-impossible task to become the first man to beat Fury in the professional ranks.
      And that’s why he plans to work him to the bone to get him ready for the toughest fight of his combat sports career.
      Tyson said: “I was speaking with Francis once he came in [to the gym] and I asked him, ‘Are you sore today?’
      “And he said, ‘No.’ That was a big mistake.

      “We are going to work him and exert everything he has for this particular match.
      “Because he is going to have to do that, and I definitely believe that it’s going to be a tougher fight than everyone thinks”.
      Ngannou’s Saudi showdown with Fury will be a ten-round affair, although the Brit’s WBC heavyweight title won’t be on the line.
      The former refugee knows he faces an almighty task to get the better of Fury but is adamant he’ll pull off the greatest upset in boxing history.

      He said: “My dream was always to box and to box the best.
      “This is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet.
      “All I will say to Tyson for now is he better dance in that ring.
      “Because if I touch him, he’s going to sleep.” More

      by

      AJ picked up his second win on the bounce since consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk with a brutal seventh-round KO of The Nordic Nightmare – a short-notice replacement for Dillian Whyte.
      Hearn was delighted to see the Watford warrior pick up his first stoppage win in nearly three years and firmly believes the golden boy of British boxing can do a number on the former WBC king now that he’s got his mojo back.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief said: “I think that he can beat Deontay Wilder comfortably, but he could also get beat by Deontay Wilder.
      “I don’t think necessarily, I mean, the good thing is he got – what was it – seven rounds in against a tall opponent who can punch a bit with the backhand?

      “I think it’s difficult to replicate certainly the power of Deontay Wilder.
      “But I’ve always felt that AJ can outbox Deontay Wilder.”
      Joshua, 33, showcased improved footwork against Helenius but his hesitancy to trade in the pocket was evident.
      Hearn believes AJ has somewhat lost the killer instinct he had early in his career but reckons his more methodical approach will serve him well in his Saudi showdown with Wilder.

      He said: “I prefer him to box tentatively than his old style against Deontay Wilder.
      “I know he can beat him with that style as well, but I would like to see him box Deontay Wilder, try and break him down.
      “If he lands the right hand on Wilder like that, the fight’s over.
      “And vice versa, if Wilder lands a right hand.
      “That’s why it’s one of the best fights in boxing.”

      Joshua and Wilder were on a collision course in 2018 when they held all the heavyweight hardware.
      But their eagerly-anticipated grudge match, which Joshua welcomed after putting Helenis, never came to fruition.
      AJ said of fighting Wilder his post-fight interview: “Roll on. There’s no worry to me when it is.

      The two men spoke about a number of topics, and the conversation soon turned to their musical influences in the 1980s.
      White said: “I grew up in the 80s when rap really started to take off, [with] Run-D.M.C, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys [and] Salt-N-Pepa.”
      However, before the 54-year-old was able to go on listing more artists, the Baddest Man on the Planet randomly burst into song, singing: “You give love a bad name.”
