In a stunning turn of events, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is set to make his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury. Despite skepticism from boxing fans and critics, Ngannou remains unfazed and confident as he prepares to step into the boxing ring.

The announcement of the Ngannou vs. Fury bout came as a surprise to many, with little evidence of negotiations between the two champions. However, Ngannou seems determined to defy expectations and deliver a shock to the boxing world.

Speaking on Monday's The MMA Hour, Ngannou expressed his unwavering belief in his abilities, stating, "Saturday, they will find out." With a wide grin on his face, he seemed ready to silence his doubters once and for all.

Although the fight will not be for Fury's heavyweight titles, it will be for the WBC Riyadh championship, paying homage to the fight's financial backers in Saudi Arabia. The result of the bout will be recorded on both Ngannou and Fury's professional records, adding an extra layer of significance to this high-stakes clash.

Ngannou finds himself as an underdog with odds of +800 according to one online oddsmaker. Many boxing fans do not give him a fighting chance of emerging victorious. However, the criticism does not bother Ngannou in the slightest. He credits it as part of the story of his life, with people doubting him since his childhood dreams of becoming a fighter. Ngannou is resolute in his belief that he has come too far to let negativity affect him.

Fury and his team have already set their sights on a title unifier with Oleksandr Usyk for December 23, suggesting that they do not view Ngannou as a serious threat. However, Ngannou sees it differently, stating, "I'm having the biggest stage here." He remains focused on his own journey and is unperturbed by what Fury plans to do after their fight.

If Ngannou manages to stun the world by defeating Fury, it could potentially delay the unification fight. Yet, Ngannou is unconcerned about the consequences for the boxing world, declaring, "That's their problem. That's not mine. I think about what's next for me."

As the highly anticipated clash between Ngannou and Fury draws near, fans and critics alike are eagerly waiting to see if Ngannou can prove the doubters wrong and make a name for himself in the world of boxing. Ngannou's unwavering confidence and determination make this bout an unmissable event, sure to captivate audiences worldwide.
