Tyson Fury links his bout with Francis Ngannou to influencer boxing

The much-anticipated crossover bout between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou had been hinted at for over a year before they eventually inked the contract. Interestingly, it also bears a connection to the likes of Jake Paul and KSI.

During a recent interview with iFL TV, 'The Gypsy King' asserted that the recent surge in influencer boxing played a pivotal role in making his upcoming bout possible:

"I see Tommy fight Jake Paul and all the opportunities to fight all these other guys and KSI and his brother and all these other people. I thought, 'I wonder if there's anybody my size' and this fight's come up and, obviously, he's [Ngannou] my size."

He added:

"So, I'm happy, very happy, and for Francis Ngannou, other doors have opened. So big shout out to Francis. Kept me in the game, kept me in the boxing game and get me paid a sh*t ton of money."
