TYSON FURY has insisted Francis Ngannou is a "much more dangerous" opponent than Oleksandr Usyk. <\/p>\n
Fury, 35, and Usyk, 36, have signed an agreement to meet in the heavyweight division's first ever four-belt unification bout. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But first, the WBC champion returns next Saturday in a crossover clash against ex-UFC star Ngannou. <\/p>\n
And despite the Cameroonian powerhouse, 37, making his boxing debut, Fury argued he will be tougher than unbeaten Usyk. <\/p>\n
Fury told ESPN: \u201cA lot of people are on about this undisputed fight, fantastic. <\/p>\n
"But I have a much more dangerous person to deal with next, I believe. <\/p>\n
"Francis is a bigger man, stronger, more powerful and has knockout capability. Usyk, he doesn't really do much damage to people he hits.\u201d<\/p>\n Fury has flirted with retirement in the past but has made several U-turns on when he will call it a day. <\/p>\n And having already lined up his next pair of bouts, the Gypsy King now hopes it will be just two of many. <\/p>\n Fury said: "I'm looking to sign another ten-fight deal after this, so I don't know, I'm going to put my feelers out there and see who I can get the best deal off for another ten fights.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n TYSON FURY VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER CLASH<\/strong><\/p>\n "What else is there?

This is all I've ever done and all that's ever made me happy.<\/p>\n "So it'd be stupid now to walk away from it when I'm making millions of dollars and getting loads of joy from it as well."<\/p>\n<\/picture>ROL UP <\/span><\/p>\n
