Francis Ngannou is “not that good” at boxing, claimed former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ngannou has spoken out about his ambition to compete in a square circle after leaving the UFC.<\/p>\n

‘The Predator’ has previously expressed interest in facing Tyson Fury<\/strong> He claimed that the fight against the Gipsy King would be one of the biggest events of the year, and he did so many times earlier this week.<\/p>\n

However, according to Smith, the overall skill level gap makes it less than competitive in the slightest. <\/p>\n

What did Anthony Smith say about Francis Ngannou?<\/h2>\n

“As an analyst, there is no world in which Francis Ngannou can beat Tyson Fury.” Michael Bisping<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

“Francis Ngannou is a normal guy as a heavyweight boxer. He’s a rarity in MMA. He’s unique. <\/p>\n

“He’s very special, but mediocre at best in the professional boxing world. At best, he’s an average puncher. He’s a below average boxer.” <\/p>\n

“His footwork and movements are below average. His defense is below average. He will not do well as a heavyweight professional boxer. <\/p>\n

“He’ll get one big boxing fight and then the ‘new’ one will fade. You’ll see how good he really is and be like, ‘Oh shit.’ he’s not that good<\/p>\n

“He’s got a great name in MMA and an incredible highlight reel, so it’s definitely going to be a big fight. But maybe just one.”<\/p>\n

Will Tyson Fury fight Francis Ngannou next?<\/h2>\n

Honestly, probably not. <\/p>\n

As of now, Ngannou has given no indication of his next move except for a few comments. <\/p>\n

In fact, at this point, it looks like all the options are still on the table, so nothing concrete. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Fury is currently interviewing Oleksandr Usyk<\/strong> An undisputed clash that takes his priorities for granted. <\/p>\n

In fact, if the fight does happen, it’s most likely at least in the second half of this year, if not early next year. <\/p>\n
