"How can Tyson fight in December?" Ngannou questions holding of Usyk-Fury fight
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) champion Francis Ngannou has expressed surprise at Tyson Fury's (33-0-1, 24 KOs) plans to fight Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs) this winter. The French athlete reminded that on October 28, he will fight the Briton, so he is unlikely to be able to recover in two months.

Ngannou wrote about this on his page on the social network X, formerly known as Twitter. The 37-year-old fighter reminded that after each boxing fight, athletes are suspended for a certain period of time for medical reasons and are not allowed to fight during this period.

"I don't know what the minimum medical suspension is in boxing, but I really don't see how Tyson can fight in December after what happens on November 28," the former UFC champion said.
