Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Fight Prediction :
The first few rounds will be very interesting to watch. If Ngannou can land a punch that can cause Fury to respond, there’s a chance that things could get out of control.
The fight is scheduled for ten rounds, though it’s unlikely that Tyson Fury would need all of them.
Although Ngannou is a dangerous puncher, it’s not clear if he can carry that power through ten rounds. He has a good chance of winning if he can catch Fury early, but that could set him up for trouble later in the fight.
Fury is likely to start the fight with a cautious approach, and he could even get clipped.
Ultimately, the fight will come to an end due to how smart Tyson Fury is and how he’s too risky to get caught with a punch from Ngannou. In the early rounds, he’ll be able to wear down The Predator before going after him after the fifth.
It’s up to Tyson Fury whether or not Ngannou can make it through the whole fight.
It is my prediction that Fury will be victorious after the 8th round.
