Legendary boxing trainer Teddy Atlas makes detailed case for Francis Ngannou beating Tyson Fury
Few are giving Francis Ngannou a chance in his boxing debut against WBC champion Tyson Fury this Saturday, but Teddy Atlas may get you to think again.
The legendary boxing trainer made a detailed breakdown of the Fury vs. Ngannou matchup this Saturday in Saudi Arabia, and essentially laid out why Ngannou is not fully out of the competition despite being out of his element. Atlas said on Tuesday on his podcast, THE FIGHT with Teddy Atlas, that Ngannou could pull off the upset.
“There should be only one winner, the boxer, because he’s been boxing his whole life at a high level,” Atlas said. “So I’m here to say, yeah, it might be one-sided. It might turn out that way, just like the McGregor-Mayweather could’ve turned out that way, but I’m not so sure.”
Below, Atlas breaks down the factors that he believes make the former UFC heavyweight champion a live dog in this boxing match against Fury, and what Ngannou can do to further his chances:
