Tyson Fury has admitted that he ‘wasn’t happy’ about the announcement of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, as he prepares for a bout with Francis Ngannou on Saturday manila
It was announced in September that Fury, who holds the WBC heavyweight title, will box Usyk, who is unified champion, in Saudi Arabia before the end of March manila
However, Fury is first set to fight former UFC champion Ngannou in Riyadh this weekend, in a controversial crossover contest – in which the WBC belt is not on the line manila
Fury is targeting a date of 23 December for his bout with Usyk, but his excitement around the fight has been diluted by some aggravation at the timing of its announcement, he suggested manila
“It wasn’t my choice,” the Briton, 35, said on The MMA Hour on Wednesday (25 October) manila
“I would never in a million years do that, but the people who are putting these fights on, who are paying the money, they’re in control manila
They’re the promoters of the event manila
“So, the paymaster does what the paymaster wants, basically manila
But if it was up to me, I would have never, ever, ever done that, ever manila
Because I never count chickens before they hatch, ever [ manila
manila
manila
] They should never announce fights before the first one happens, because that’s how people get knocked out manila
“But I’m not even looking at the next fight manila
I’m only concentrating on Francis manila
If it means breaking these two hands and getting a cut right through [my eyebrow] to win, I will do it manila
Don’t worry about that manila
Nothing else matters, only Saturday night manila
“I wasn’t happy at first, for them to announce it, but there was a lot going on in the background manila
For me, I don’t concentrate on any other fight other than Saturday night manila
What happens in the future stays in the future manila
“I’m living for today and this moment manila
My moment now is to fight Francis for the ‘baddest man on the planet’ title, and when I’ve won that, only after I’ve won that, I won’t even think about my next [fight] until I’ve had a week off and spent some time with my family manila
I’ve been in camp 12 weeks manila
” (Getty Images)Fury is unbeaten across 34 fights in his professional career, while 37-year-old Ngannou is making his manila boxing debut manila
Usyk, 36, is also unbeaten, but to face the stiffer test that the Ukrainian provides on paper, Fury must avoid an upset against Ngannou manila
“You can’t listen to the manila betting odds, you can’t listen to what the pundits say, or what the manila boxing people or anybody [says], because they’re not in there on the night,” Fury said manila
“And if you start listening to people who are not manila boxing, then that’s the time you fail manila
I don’t take anybody lightly manila
I’ve seen so many times in the sport where people fight people they’re supposed to beat, and they’re always looking at the bigger picture manila
“I’ll use Anthony Joshua as an example manila
There was always talk of him fighting me or [Deontay] Wilder manila
He fights Andy Ruiz on two weeks’ notice, and he ends up getting knocked out manila
The odds going in were astronomical, everybody thought he was going to smoke the guy – all the manila boxing experts, all the pundits, all the media, everybody – and what happens? He gets knocked spark out manila
Then he goes home crying in defeat manila
”Joshua was in fact stopped on his feet, after suffering four knockdowns, in that 2019 defeat, which he avenged six months later manila
“I never, ever do that,” Fury added manila
“If I was fighting somebody in a local bar, and I knew I had to fight the guy in six weeks – a guy not even from a combat sport – I would train hard, because you never know what the guy is going to bring manila
Never mind someone from a bar, I’m fighting an absolute killer in Francis Ngannou manila

This guy has got a point to prove manila
You think I’m not going to train for him, and come in at 400lbs? I don’t think so manila
I’ve trained as hard for him as I did for any other fighter I’ve ever fought manila
At this level, you don’t get no second chances manila
manila Better to prepare for the hardest fight ever and it not be, than to prepare for an easy fight and it’s a war manila
”Fury last fought in December, stopping Derek Chisora to seal a third win against his compatriot and retain the WBC belt manila
Meanwhile, Ngannou last fought in January 2022, retaining the UFC heavyweight title with a decision against Ciryl Gane manila
The Cameroonian then underwent knee surgery before relinquishing the UFC title this January, when he left the MMA promotion manila
He is due to return to mixed martial arts in 2024, having signed for the Professional Fighters League manila

“We are the bomb squad and we knew we had to play a massive role manila
” If South Africa’s narrow win over England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final could be summed up in one sentence, then this proclamation from Vincent Koch after the game would probably be it manila
When Koch emerged from the replacements on 55 minutes to take the place of starting tighthead prop Frans Malherbe, Owen Farrell had just slotted a drop goal from downtown Paris to give England a 15-6 lead manila
Nine points may not seem a lot but, with the final quarter of the match beckoning and the rain and wind increasing at the Stade de France, it was a comparatively huge deficit manila
Throughout the first few minutes of the second half, the Springboks had more or less emptied their bench as Ox Nche, RG Snyman, Kwagga Smith, Deon Fourie, Faf de Klerk and Willie Le Roux all entered the fray to go alongside the controversial 30th-minute substitution of starting fly half Manie Libbok for Handre Pollard manila
With their World Cup title defence hanging by a thread, South Africa trusted their bench and got their reward manila
Koch and Nche splintered the previously effective English scrum, Snyman burrowed his way across the line for the game’s only try and Pollard nervelessly converted tricky kicks to complete the hardest-fought of turnarounds – 10 unanswered points, a 16-15 win and a date with the All Blacks in another World Cup final next Saturday manila
Of the various phrases rugby has adopted over the years to describe those players in the matchday squad but not in the starting line-up – from the traditional “replacements” and the manila football-ised “substitutes” through to the Eddie Jones-preferred ‘finishers’, the slightly patronising “impact players” and the frankly ludicrous “game-changers” adopted by Harlequins during the Paul Gustard era – none has captured the imagination quite like South Africa’s “bomb squad” manila
It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a slightly self-serving and faintly ridiculous term, the players fully buy into the ethos of what it stands for manila
The intensity and physicality that generation after generation of Springbok has prided themselves on is summed up by this two-word mantra manila
“Each person knows exactly his role in the team, whether you’re starting or in the bomb squad,” explained Koch manila
“When we created the bomb squad, we knew exactly what our job is manila
The starters start the whole process and it’s for us to come and finish it manila
“All the players on the bomb squad are very excited to make a massive difference in the game manila
”Vincent Koch celebrated RG Snyman’s try as the bomb squad thrived (AFP via Getty Images)And against England, when the chips were down, they realised they needed to step up more than ever manila
“The bomb squad always stands for energy,” added Koch manila
“We needed to create a nice vibe manila
Putting the replacements on a bit earlier helped the boys to start to bring that energy and lift up the spirit and bring a massive work-rate manila
”Where South Africa’s replacements thrived, perhaps England’s faltered just a touch manila
The English gameplan, devised by Steve Borthwick and perfectly executed by the players for the windy and rainy Parisian conditions, relied upon relentless kicking, winning the subsequent aerial battle, slowing the game down and dominating the set-piece manila
Maybe then, they could escape with a win against an objectively superior team manila
They kicked 93 per cent of possession away (the highest percentage of the tournament), had an average ruck speed of 6 manila
73s (the slowest of the tournament) and had zero linebreaks (the only team to do so in a game at this tournament) manila
They disrupted South African lineouts, turned over multiple mauls and Borthwick’s decision to play his two strongest scrummaging props – Dan Cole and Joe Marler – from the start earned them scrum parity and redemption from the disaster in that facet during the 2019 World Cup final manila
Ox Nche was immense from the bench against the Springboks (EPA)This is a Springboks side that pride themselves on their dominance up front, as shown by opting for a scrum after calling a mark in their own 22 during the quarter-final victory over France manila
Of course, they won a penalty from it manila
Yet England were holding their own during those engagements, even thriving, and most importantly winning on the scoreboard manila
But the innate problem with starting your best scrummagers came to fruition in the second half manila
Replacement props Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler are far more dynamic around the park and more destructive carriers than their veteran counterparts but, with England showing no desire to run any plays more than two metres either side of the previous breakdown, those skills were negated once they came on for Marler and Cole manila
Instead, their inferior scrummaging was brutally exposed by a fired-up Koch and Nche, who turned parity into Springbok dominance manila
They won two scrums against the head, including a vital one at 15-6 down on their own line, and engineered multiple penalties on their own feed, including the most vital of all – on halfway, with 77 minutes on the clock and England leading 15-13 manila
Pollard banged over the long kick and the rest was history manila
Handre Pollard broke English hearts with his late penalty (PA Wire)Nche was coy when asked in the mixed zone after the game what had made the difference at scrum-time in the final quarter and how he bested his opposite number, Sinckler manila
“That is the dark arts,” he smiled manila
“It is hard to explain to you manila
We had a plan for that manila
We knew what we were trying to achieve manila
“They have had a great scrum for the competition and a great hit manila
Our focus was surviving that and applying pressure manila
Our mentality for every scrum is to get a penalty if we can manila
If they do survive, we play out the back and get into our shape manila
”The “dark arts” ultimately won the day, South Africa survived a second straight one-point knockout match and must now plan how to overcome the All Blacks in a battle to be the first side to win four men’s Rugby World Cups manila
Luckily, they have a not-so-secret weapon manila
