"He should get down on his knees and kiss my feet." Fury makes resonant statement about Joshua-Ngannou fight

Sensational boxing debutant Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs) has Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) to thank for the opportunity to earn fantastic paydays. The former champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), only after knocking out the Briton, got the opportunity to fight Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs).

Fury said this in an interview with The Stomping Ground YouTube channel. According to the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, he emphasized that interest in Ngannou from boxing fans arose only after Tyson himself was knocked out in a fight with the Cameroonian.

"I made him famous, made him a multimillionaire, and now I'm making even more money. So he should thank me. He should get down on his knees and kiss my feet because of what I've done for him. Ngannou's fight with Joshua? The best man of the night will win. They're giant heavyweights, right? So anyone can win. In fact, there will be some brilliant fights on Friday. I'm looking forward to the whole card," Fury said.

As a reminder, the confrontation between Joshua and Ngannou will take place on March 8. The winner of the fight, according to the organizers of boxing nights in Saudi Arabia, will fight the strongest in the fight between Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) and Tyson Fury. On May 18, the Ukrainian and the Briton will fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, Russian middleweight boxer Magomed Kurbanov (25-0, 13 KOs) was not allowed to fight Israel Madrimov (9-0-1, 6 KOs) on the undercard of the Joshua-Ngannou fight.
