The Cameroonian UFC heavyweight champion was in attendance last Saturday at Wembley Arena, in London, where he witnessed the last fight of heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury's career, with whom he has been campaigning for an encounter in the ring.
Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round and officially ended his career with a record of 32 wins and one draw, with 23 wins by knockout as the WBC World Heavyweight Champion.
Fury is open to exhibition fights and a possibility with the Cameroonian is not ruled out.
"I want to know who is the toughest guy on the planet. It will be a hybrid fight, with different types of rules. MMA gloves in the ring, a little different,” said Ngannou above the ring, where he had a friendly and respectful encounter with Fury.
"Francis Ngannou was here today, he is on my blacklist for an exhibition fight. It's whatever he wants: in a cage, in a boxing ring, boxing gloves, UFC gloves, we can make it happen. I think everyone wants to see it. This guy is a monster. I am a monster. So for sure it will be a clash of the titans, said Fury."
