True, many of us here chose Ngannou to win, despite him not being a boxing champion. Fury is the most popular in the heavyweight division now, and since they are boxing, it's more likely that Fury will win. As far as I remember, I have not seen a boxing champion lose to a UFC fighter in a match. Even Mayweather, who has already retired and only participates in exhibition fights, still wins because it's boxing.
For me, this fight is most likely that of McGregor and Mayweather and since these two are heavyweights, then the fight would not last long because Francis will surely unleash huge power punches that would knockdown Fury multiple times but if he gonna successfully hit him bit if not and the punches will only hit the air, then probably as an easy win for Fury because that's how he most wins his fight in the past by letting his opponent miss and will gonna make them tired and he will throw lots of accurate punches to knock them out.
I'm not seeing Francis hitting Fury flash in the face that will cost him to go down. Fury eat the best punch of Wilder in their first fight, was knock down and we though that it was over. But lo and behold, he was able to get up from the canvass.
My point is that even if by chance he got hit by Francis, I think that Fury can get up as well. And if we compare it to Floyd vs McGregor, Floyd simply allow Connor to hit him at times. But Floyd knows that sooner or later, the Irish man is going to get tired. So I'm seeing the same strategy by Tyson here, let Ngannou fight and throw punches early, it might hit him, but after 3 rounds, Francis might ran out of steam and then Fury scoring and then deliver a knockout punch.
