Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury är inte längre en långsökt dröm. Matchen kommer nu till slut äga rum efter mycket om och men.
Kampsportsvärlden reagerar på Francis Ngannous drömmatch
Efter månader av debatter, diskussioner och osäkerhet så har den tidigare UFC-stjärnan Francis Ngannou bärgat en mega-boxningsmatch mot den de flesta anser är den främste tungviktsboxaren i världen; Tyson Fury.
Nyheten om 10-rondaren, som kommer gå under professionella boxningsregler den 28 oktober i Riyadh, Saudiarabien, annonserades igår av båda parterna och kampsportsvärlden har minst sagt mycket att säga om matchningen.
Nedan kan ni se kommentarer från profiler från bl.a MMA och boxningsvärlden:

Please don’t let this announcement distract from the fact that the name of Ngannou’s new fight promotion is …
GIMIK Fight Promotions.

Hard to find much room for criticism here. If you think Francis is going to get smoked, then cool, but the structure of the contest is pretty ideal for the fans. https://t.co/xQ1fPGAAmR

This moment was made possible by the fighter lawsuit that compelled UFC to put expiration clauses in fighter contracts at the time Francis Nagannou signed them.
When we think about what news actually matters in MMA and where the lion’s share of coverage goes, remember this day. https://t.co/aMIGxcRDMB

Mannnn, Francis did it! We can now all definitively agree he played his cards correctly, right? The bags have been secured. 💰💰 https://t.co/EM1EjnpzYJ

Where those people at who kept saying Francis Ngannou was fumbling the bag and should go beg the UFC to take him back? Awful quiet now that he got that Tyson Fury fight.

Happy for Francis. 😁👍 https://t.co/ABLcnKT3Lz

We all know anything besides Fury-Usyk is BS. We know Francis has little to no chance in this fight. But you do have to recognize the unique opportunity here. You’ll never see a lineal UFC HW champ in this position again. It was now or never. Glad it *seems* to be full rules. https://t.co/OwjtNCSShW

Major.
All the criticism, all the BS Francis had to deal with, and he’s doing the damn thing.
Bravo, @francis_ngannou. https://t.co/Tqi3gZTtYn

Francis Ngannou’s gamble paid off.
The man is getting exactly what he wanted from fighting out his UFC contract. This is wild. https://t.co/qzeHz7kjRn

Power move from Big Fran. This and the PFL deal, that’s some pretty sweet negotiating since the UFC exit. https://t.co/LApb4Es7Zn

Props to Francis Ngannou for taking on the toughest boxing test he could find. Tyson Fury looks like an awful matchup for him, and it seems we shall see. https://t.co/ebdd7kvwm9
