Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver UFC fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night baguio
Heavyweight champion Fury will contest a 35th career bout this weekend, but his WBC title will not be on the line against Ngannou for the 10-round fight baguio
Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk on 23 December, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia baguio
First, though, Fury intends to dispatch baguio boxing novice Ngannou, who left the UFC after the end of his contract, a last fight coming in January 2022, before signing up with the Professional Fighters League from 2024 baguio
Trainer SugarHill Steward admitted preparing Fury to take on the Mixed Martial Arts fighter was one of the hardest camps, given they just do not know what to expect from Ngannou baguio
Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be baguio
“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night baguio
I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said baguio
“He is a big strong guy baguio
Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I baguio
I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion baguio
I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night baguio
”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night baguio
I’ve been hit by the biggest punches that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still number one baguio
“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power baguio
“I’m not convinced baguio
I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge – and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way baguio
“I am going to knock that big stiff spark out – and there is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night baguio
That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser baguio
”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body baguio
Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ baguio
Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a baguio boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon baguio
“It might be a little weird, but I really also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because he might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage,” Ngannou said baguio
Mike Tyson is part of Ngannou’s camp, and enjoyed a verbal sparing with John Fury which saw the 59-year-old Briton challenge the former heavyweight champion to a showdown, regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s contest for his son baguio
Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s baguio boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters baguio
“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said baguio
“Then I watched him spar and he hit this guy and he broke his leg when he went down – and I said ‘man, there is a possibility something good could happen here’ baguio
“I have never seen anything like that before baguio
If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world baguio

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel baguio
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink baguio
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp baguio
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game baguio
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions baguio
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster baguio
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly baguio
“I think we shocked them baguio
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game baguio
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful baguio
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago baguio
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme baguio
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies baguio
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly baguio
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on baguio
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return baguio
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch baguio
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick baguio
“But the players should be incredibly proud baguio
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions baguio
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 baguio
We’ve had four months baguio
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them baguio
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made baguio
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid baguio
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans baguio
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament baguio
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked baguio
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward baguio
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick baguio
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game baguio
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change baguio
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent baguio
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change baguio
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union baguio
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players baguio
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby baguio Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation baguio
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards baguio
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos baguio
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear baguio
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace baguio
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win baguio
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said baguio
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past baguio
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it baguio
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team baguio
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be baguio
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger baguio
