Promoter: Tyson Fury Wants Francis Ngannou Rematch

Tyson Fury is seemingly interested in running it back with Francis Ngannou after their boxing clash last month.

Ngannou made his long-awaited foray into the squared circle on Oct. 28 in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia, against Fury, going in as a +850 underdog. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight king shocked the world by taking Fury to a split decision, also scoring the lone knockdown of the bout in Round 3.

Ngannou isn’t expected to return to MMA for his next outing, as there have been talks of potential boxing clashes against Dereck Chisora and Deontay Wilder. Meanwhile, Fury is slated to take on Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight title unification clash on Feb. 17.

While Fury isn’t looking past the Usyk fight, promoter Frank Warren said on "The MMA Hour” that the WBC champ is interested in a rematch against Ngannou in the future.

“I think there’s a good chance of that happening. I do,” Warren said. “I don’t know [if it’ll be next for Fury]. It’s like jumping too far forward. Let’s get the big one [with Usyk] out of the way first, and then we’ll see where we go. But I do think [it’ll happen]. Tyson told me that he wants the rematch, and I know Ngannou wants it, because after the fight we were out there, we met at His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]’s house and we had quite a lengthy conversation. He’s a nice guy, by the way. He’s a really nice guy, good team around him, and I’m quite sure we’ll do it again.”
