Francis Ngannou trolls Tyson Fury with T-shirt showing Deontay Wilder knockdown
Francis Ngannou expertly trolled Tyson Fury with a T-shirt depicting his vicious second knockdown from round 12 of his 2018 fight with Deontay Wilder ahead of their first head-to-head.
UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou will look to shock the world with a win over lineal boxing champion Fury in Riyadh on October 28, and the pair are due to begin promotional duties in earnest this evening with a media event in London. And upon his arrival, Ngannou showed off a t-shirt to promote the bout, which shows Fury unconscious on the ground in Los Angeles.
Of course, Fury ended up producing one of boxing's most iconic moments when he somehow rose to beat the count after being thunderously knocked down by the sport's hardest puncher. But Ngannou wanted to remind his rival that he can go down under a big power shot by trolling him with the picture.

And he looked menacing in his series of Instagram posts (francisngannou/Instagram)"See you at the press conference," he wrote in a brief Instagram message to Fury, which accompanied a series of promotional messages for the event and two menacing pictures wearing the t-shirt on the streets of London. He won't be donning the t-shirt at the press conference however, as he opted to wear a sharp suit upon arrival at the venue.
Ngannou is a monstrous underdog for the massive money fight, given that he has never boxed before and Fury is the lineal heavyweight champion of the world with no defeats. But his punching power is no joke, and with the added bonus of Mike Tyson in his corner, he is keen to land a stunning knockout win.

Fury, on the other hand, has come in for criticism for even taking the fight given that the division is yet to be unified. Purists want him to face Oleksandr Usyk and crown the first undisputed champion of the four-belt era, but instead he has taken a big-money fight with Ngannou where his WBC belt won't even be on the line.
Do you think Francis Ngannou can knock out Tyson Fury? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
"As soon as that bell goes, it’ll be bombs away!" Fury has said of the bout, which takes place under full professional rules for ten rounds. "This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit by the Big GK. I can’t wait to get back out there under the lights.
"I’m looking forward to showing the world that The Gypsy King is the greatest fighter of his generation in an epic battle with another master of his craft. Francis looked tough when he jumped in the ring after the Whyte fight, but there is no one tougher than me, and you’ll all see that in devastating fashion on October 28."
Ngannou added: "I’ve been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years. My dream was always to box, and to box the best. After becoming the undisputed MMA heavyweight champion, this is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet."
