Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver MMA fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night 22bet
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 22bet
Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk before March, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia 22bet
First, though, Fury intends to dispatch 22bet 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 22bet
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 22bet
Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be 22bet
“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night 22bet
I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said 22bet
“He is a big strong guy 22bet
Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I 22bet
I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion 22bet
I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night 22bet
”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night 22bet
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 22bet
“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 22bet
“I’m not convinced 22bet
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 22bet
“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 22bet
That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser 22bet
”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body 22bet
Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ 22bet
Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a 22bet boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon 22bet
“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 22bet
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 22bet
Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s 22bet boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters 22bet
“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said 22bet
“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’ 22bet
“I have never seen anything like that before 22bet
If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world 22bet

It’s the game that players don’t want to play, fans don’t want to watch and the media don’t want to cover 22bet
All of which begs the question, why does the Rugby World Cup third/fourth place play-off still exist? Answers on a postcard please 22bet
Actually, the answer is fairly simple, of course 22bet
It follows the old adage that when you’re not sure why something counter-intuitive is happening in sport, the reason is always the same 22bet
Money 22bet
World Rugby and its sponsors will undoubtedly make a bit more cheddar from England facing Argentina on Friday evening at relatively little expense, although it remains to be seen how many of the Stade de France’s 80,000 seats are filled, let alone what sort of atmosphere those in attendance create 22bet
You suspect it might not quite reach the level of fan delirium that some of the other instant classics at the Paris stadium have generated during this tournament 22bet
Let’s not beat around the bush – World Rugby can badge it as the ‘bronze final’ all they want but the third/fourth place play-off is an entirely pointless exercise and it’s long since time that this outdated relic of a concept was given the chop 22bet
Please, do everyone a favour 22bet
In a tournament that is based around winning a trophy rather than climbing onto a medal podium, a battle for third serves precisely no purpose 22bet
At the Olympic Games, bronze medal matches/contests make perfect sense and having one athlete or team rightfully earn their place as a sole bronze medallist is far more satisfying than both losing semi-finalists stepping on the podium 22bet
But there’s no podium at a Rugby World Cup – there’s the winning team, the runners-up and then the losing semi-finalists, quarter-finalists and those who were knocked out at the group stage 22bet
So what are we doing here? The stakes have truly never been lower 22bet
Here’s a question for you, a little pub debate if you will 22bet
What’s your favourite ever third/fourth place play-off at a Rugby World Cup? Which one springs to mind first when you run through the Rolodex of all the iconic clashes in your mind?New Zealand comfortably beat Wales in the 2019 third-place play-off 22bet
Apparently 22bet
(Getty Images)Don’t worry, I couldn’t remember a single one either… Although a quick scroll through Wikipedia tells me that, for example, New Zealand beat Scotland 13-6 in 1991, Argentina beat France 34-10 in 2007 and Australia beat Wales 21-18 in 2011 22bet
Apparently 22bet
If not to save the fans from its pointlessness, then how about axing the game for player safety reasons? As they proudly announced the new global calendar after 16 years of negotiations earlier this week, World Rugby consistently mentioned ‘player load management’ as one of their main drivers 22bet
The crowded fixture schedule and incredible physical intensity of modern rugby already push players’ bodies to their limits, so in an age of increased focus on player welfare, getting rid of an entirely worthless fixture such as this should be an easy decision 22bet
Imagine if one of the players gets injured in this futile fixture on Friday evening and misses months of club action as a result – it would really not be a good look 22bet
Of the two teams condemned to play out this fixture on Friday – rather than licking their wounds from harrowing semi-final losses last weekend and returning home to their families after five months away – Argentina have remained more on message about its importance 22bet
“It is the most important game of the year; it is playing for third and fourth place with this shirt,” insisted Pumas hooker Julian Montoya earlier this week 22bet
Oh… Well, let’s give Montoya the benefit of the doubt and assume that either something was slightly lost in translation or he has really bought into the classic coach-speak of “the most important game is always the next game” or maybe even that he was being brutally deadpan and sarcastic 22bet
Because otherwise, he appears to have forgotten about, for example, the semi-final he played against the All Blacks literally seven days ago when ranking his most important games of 2023 22bet
Argentina will try to forget last weekend’s heavy defeat to New Zealand (Getty Images)While Montoya may have stretched the bounds of believability with his sentiment, Los Pumas genuinely do seem far more up for the game than England 22bet
Perhaps the combination of wanting to forget the 44-6 humbling by New Zealand, avenge the pool-stage loss to England and send off Michael Cheika, who will be replaced as head coach by Felipe Contepomi after the World Cup, in style has given them a greater sense of purpose 22bet
Making just three changes to the starting XV, compared to England’s eight, from the semi-final side has left them with a team much closer to full strength 22bet
In the fine margins of Test rugby, that fact, combined with the added motivation, may prove the difference 22bet
But regardless of the result, I implore World Rugby to do the right thing 22bet
Please make this the last-ever third/fourth place play-off and save us from having to endure this nonsense again in 2027 22bet
