Frank Warren on Fury vs Ngannou II
Recently on The MMA Hour, Frank Warren revealed that Fury wants the rematch against Ngannou.
Warren also spoke about Ngannou’s chances of winning against other top heavyweight fighters. “I think there’s a good chance of that happening. I do,” Warren said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “I don’t know [if it’ll be next for Fury].
It’s like jumping too far forward. Let’s get the big one [with Oleksandr Usyk on Feb. 17] out of the way first, and then we’ll see where we go. But I do think [it’ll happen]. Tyson told me that he wants the rematch, and I know Ngannou wants it, because after the fight we were out there, we met at His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]’s house and we had quite a lengthy conversation.
Warren on Ngannou’s chances of winning against other fighters: He’s a nice guy, by the way. He’s a really nice guy, good team around him, and I’m quite sure we’ll do it again.I think Ngannou will give any of the guys in the top 10 — and he’s ranked now, I think couple of the organizations have dropped him in there, and they should do it, he’s just gone the distance with the world champion — I think it’ll give all of them a problem, and there’s a couple of them there I think he could beat”.
