Tyson Fury suffered an almighty scare last month when he was dropped by Francis Ngannou before winning on points.
Fury was expected to easily deal with the boxing novice, but the former UFC superstar flipped the script and nearly caused the biggest shock in boxing history before being beaten on split decision.
The plan for Fury now is to head into an undisputed heavyweight battle against Oleksandr Usyk and Mike Tyson expects Fury to win that bout.
Tyson was in Ngannou’s corner for his contest against Fury and the former world champion has given his backing to Fury regarding his imminent bout against the unbeaten Ukrainian.
“He beats Usyk. He will beat him, yeah,” said Tyson when soeaking to TNT Sports.
