Ngannou has been training with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson ahead of his bout with Fury, who is unbeaten as a pro but has been dropped six times in his career. <\/p>\n

The \u201cGypsy King\u201d hit the canvas twice in his first fight with Deontay Wilder, a draw in 2018, and twice in their trilogy bout in 2021, when Fury stopped the American for the second time. Fury was also dropped by Steve Cunningham in 2013 and Neven Pajkic in 2011.<\/p>\n

Ngannou last fought in January 2022, beating Ciryl Gane on points to retain the UFC heavyweight title, which he relinquished 12 months later while leaving the mixed martial arts promotion. In the time between, Ngannou underwent knee surgery.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 39-year-old Chisora bounced back from his most recent loss to Fury by outpointing Gerald Washington in August, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua\u2019s knockout of Robert Helenius.<\/p>\n
