Current WBC heavyweight British giant Tyson Fury and former heavyweight treble winner Anthony Joshua may be in trouble, as UFC heavyweight champion "Iron Blood" Francis Nagano has already targeted them both.
Nagano may enter professional boxing and play against Fury and Joshua, after all, playing professional boxing is more profitable.
Nagano's Tekken is also one of the best in UFC history, belonging to the super heavy gunner, who set a world record for the most lethal blow in 2017. He beat The Little X-Men Steve Mioci in the 260th session of the UFC to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship. He will be challenged by Cyril Gunney for the 270th UFC race on January 22 this year.
Nagano had said he intended to move from octagonal cage to professional boxing, and he was impressed by both Tyson Furi and Joshua.
Tyson Fury killed Wild twice in 2021, beating Wilder without temper and defending his WBC heavyweight gold belt. But Joshua didn't fare so well, having been beaten by Ukraine's Usik, losing the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight titles.
Nagano has been so much appreciative of both Fury and Joshua that he may consider playing a crossover game or two.
Nagaano said: "I think Fury is the best heavyweight boxer. Without a doubt, he was the best boxer of his time, and he koed Wild twice, proving his status as king. ”
Nagaano continued: "Fury and Wild have fought three times, he has a heavy punch and likes to say something big. I can also punch hard and talk big, like I did with Derek Lewis.
Anthony Joshua is a very nice guy and I've been following him for a long time. He is highly skilled and physically strong. Although I didn't know him, he made a good impression on me. His heavy punches are very explosive and I watch some of his matches. For example, in his match with Little Klitchenko, he can still throw heavy punches, he can also hold heavy punches, and his jaw is great. ”
Nagano, 35, said he might enter professional boxing in order to earn more money. Nagano's 2021 honorarium is clearly inferior to Tyson Furie's, as the latter earned £13m through victory over Wilder, several times more than Nagano.
Nagano is willing to play Against Furi and Joshua in the future, and sees it as a dangerous challenge. "I'm not afraid of danger, it's going to happen anyway," he said. Even though I have a UFC contract, I'm also looking forward to playing professional boxing, I can't live without boxing, I want to test how strong my boxing ability is.
"It's not the same sport, although I'm a UFC champion, the number one in the heavyweight category. But what happens to me in professional boxing? I don't know because boxing and UFC are trained differently and in different ways. I'm still convinced that I can throw heavy punches that can hurt professional boxers. ”
Tall at 1.94 m, with an arm span of 2 m 11 and extremely good physical condition, Nagano is an uncompromising super heavy gunner, and most of his victories are won by KO opponents. He ko ko x-men miochi in 2 rounds, and even showed a strong attack power. He had a good relationship with the boxing champion Tyson, who also instructed Nagano in some boxing techniques.
We can see from his match with Miocchi that Nagano's boxing skills have improved. Nagano doesn't make much money playing a fighting tournament, and playing professional boxing is the way to make a lot of money, which he understands.
If Nagano plays against Tyson Fury and Joshua, what are the odds? The editors of the fight jianghu believe that Nagano beat Furi, no drama, because Furi has excellent technology, super endurance, amazing ability to fight, and Furi will KO Nagano. But Nagano beat Joshua, there is a certain possibility of winning, because Joshua's jaw is not resistant to beating, and the endurance is very average. Of course, it's just that Nagano has a certain chance of winning, and Joshua will most likely ko Nagano. What do you think about that? Welcome to leave a message. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
