At the pre-fight press conference, things got spicy between Fury's dad, John, and the boxing legend, Mike Tyson.John, known for being loud and proud, hyped up his son but threw down the gauntlet, daring Tyson to a fight if his son lost, despite naming him after Tyson.&nbsp; Tyson casually mentioned that John Fury had been after a fight with him for 40 years. Ngannou joined the banter, suggesting a two-on-two matchup.&nbsp;You can watch the full press conference below.<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="362" src="https://youtube.com/embed/d5Ox8YmpPBk" title="YouTube video player" width="644"></iframe>

What happened during pre-fight press conference?

Anticipating the performance of the MMA fighter stepping into the boxing ring for the first time is an almost impossible task. It’s especially difficult when Ngannou’s last octagon appearance was in January last year.What we do know about Ngannou is his reputation as a hard-hitter, securing 11 out of his 17 victories through knockout punches in his discipline. Notably, he clinched the UFC Championship belt in March 2021 with a swift knockout of Stipe Miocic, emphasizing his power.Collaborating with Mike Tyson in training hints at a strategy likely centered around aiming to gain an early KO victory against Fury.On the other side, Tyson Fury's consistent display of dominance solidifies his stature among the best fighters of his era. His commanding performance against Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year further underscores his capability in the ring.&nbsp; Despite occasional doubts, Fury's comeback in 2018 has been marked by dominance.&nbsp; Will this change against a recently transitioned UFC fighter?&nbsp;

Form coming into the fight

There's a considerable contrast in ring experience between the two fighters. The MMA fighter from Cameroon, known as The Predator due to holding the record for the World’s Hardest Punch, poses a threat that Tyson certainly aims to avoid.Fury holds the edge in height and reach, solidifying his position as the favored contender according to experts and bookmakers. Nevertheless, Fury himself has displayed impressive feats in the ring, and in the realm of heavyweight boxing, outcomes remain unpredictable.<table><thead><tr><th></th><th>Tyson Fury</th><th>Francis Ngannou</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Age</td><td>35</td><td>37</td></tr><tr><td>Height</td><td>2.06m</td><td>1.93m</td></tr><tr><td>Reach</td><td>216cm</td><td>211cm</td></tr><tr><td>Stance</td><td>Orthodox</td><td>Orthodox</td></tr><tr><td>Total fights</td><td>34</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Wins</td><td>34</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Wins by KO</td><td>24</td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table>
