Undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has been warned that if he pursues a potential mixed martial arts clash with former UFC heavyweight kingpin, Francis Ngannou – the Cameroonian could very well likely “kill him”, according to former world champion boxer, David Haye.

Fury, the undisputed and incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, is slated to headline a professional boxing event next month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – taking on recent PFL (Professional Fighters League) acquisition, Ngannou, in the latter’s professional boxing debut. 

Sidelined since December of last year, Fury managed to successfully defend the WBC crown in an eventual knockout win over three-time foe, Derek Chisora, defeating the challenger with a standing TKO victory.

As for Ngannou, the veteran Batié native, who is expected to make his MMA return in the opening quarter of next year, has yet to fight in combat sports since unifying the heavyweight titles against former interim champion, Ciryl Gane back in January of last year at UFC 270.
