Tyson Fury has vowed to deliver UFC fighter Francis Ngannou his first knockout blow when they go toe to toe in Riyadh on Saturday night baguio
Heavyweight champion Fury will contest a 35th career bout this weekend, but his WBC title will not be on the line against Ngannou for the 10-round fight baguio
Fury is set for a long-anticipated undisputed heavyweight showdown with Oleksandr Usyk on 23 December, which is also scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia baguio
First, though, Fury intends to dispatch baguio boxing novice Ngannou, who left the UFC after the end of his contract, a last fight coming in January 2022, before signing up with the Professional Fighters League from 2024 baguio
Trainer SugarHill Steward admitted preparing Fury to take on the Mixed Martial Arts fighter was one of the hardest camps, given they just do not know what to expect from Ngannou baguio
Fury, though, is confident of what the final outcome will be baguio
“I have been working with SugarHill to knock him out cold on Sunday night baguio
I have no doubt in my mind that I will knock him out,” Fury said baguio
“He is a big strong guy baguio
Obviously he has got a good punch, powerful – but so am I baguio
I’m a big strong guy obviously powerful or else I would not be world heavyweight champion baguio
I believe there is levels to the game – and he is going to find out my level on Saturday night baguio
”Fury added: “I have trained for a 12-round war, and if it is anything less it is going to be an early night baguio
I’ve been hit by the biggest punches that have ever graced the face of the earth and I’m still undefeated, still standing and I am still number one baguio
“We are going to see what Francis has got inside of him, see if he’s got the guts to stand and trade with the heavyweight champion of the world and if he has got the belief in his power baguio
“I’m not convinced baguio
I have heard all this talk before about power, so I’m looking forward to a challenge – and if it is not a challenge, I’ll be disappointed, put in that way baguio
“I am going to knock that big stiff spark out – and there is nothing he can do about it, no matter who he trains with, no matter who he brings on the night baguio
That right hand is going to detonate right in your face, you big ugly dosser baguio
”During the pre-fight build-up Fury accused Ngannou of being “embarrassed” of his own body baguio
Fury again goaded the 37-year-old as a “big fat sausage” in Thursday’s media conference ahead of the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ baguio
Cameroon-born Ngannou, though, is fully intent on showing Fury just what he can deliver in a baguio boxing ring rather than the UFC Octagon baguio
“It might be a little weird, but I really also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because he might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage,” Ngannou said baguio
Mike Tyson is part of Ngannou’s camp, and enjoyed a verbal sparing with John Fury which saw the 59-year-old Briton challenge the former heavyweight champion to a showdown, regardless of the outcome of Saturday’s contest for his son baguio
Tyson admitted he was not sure what to make of Ngannou’s baguio boxing ability, until he saw him in close quarters baguio
“At first when this came to me, I said ‘there’s no way this is going to happen’,” Tyson said baguio
“Then I watched him spar and he hit this guy and he broke his leg when he went down – and I said ‘man, there is a possibility something good could happen here’ baguio
“I have never seen anything like that before baguio
If he could do that man, he could possibly be heavyweight champion of the world baguio

Hi {{indy baguio

It is a path less travelled, let alone as quickly, a journey from FC Copenhagen to Sturm Graz, Atalanta to Manchester United, all before his 21st birthday baguio
It was the culmination of an ambition, too, for a boyhood United fan, the realisation of a dream baguio
And yet there were points in a reunion where Rasmus Hojlund could be forgiven for wondering if he had been baguio better off staying put baguio
Not financially, admittedly, with the rewards that come with a £72m price tag, but from a baguio footballing perspective baguio
The more coherent team were Copenhagen, the low-budget overachievers seeming to have more of a plan than the high-budget overachievers but it was tempting to think that if the Danish champions could still call upon their most valuable old boy, they would have won at Old Trafford baguio
Instead, United were victorious, aided by a telling intervention by a Dane baguio
It wasn’t Hojlund, though that is no criticism: there are times when he is the brightest of United’s front three simply a process of excellence but here, as against Galatasaray, it was a consequence of excellence baguio
But it was his compatriot Christian Eriksen who curled in a cross that Harry Maguire converted baguio
Which, along with Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save from Jordan Larsson, averted indignity baguio
Which a draw would have been, given the gulf in resources baguio between the clubs baguio
Hojlund is proof of it baguio
But as his former club, who had led against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, came within a few inches of going ahead at Old Trafford, there were times when Hojlund had to stand and admire baguio
In different ways, his younger brothers Oscar, a late substitute for Copenhagen, and Emil, who did not make the bench, were spectators baguio
So was the older and more expensive sibling, limited to two touches in the first quarter of an hour, left stranded by United’s impotence baguio
Yet, with the notable exception of Maguire’s decider, everything they did right thereafter in attack revolved around him baguio
Which, in itself, may have been an indictment of others baguio
Pivotal as centre-forwards can be, United looked over-reliant on one whose name, this time last year, may have simply seemed a failed attempt to spell Haaland baguio
And the Norwegian, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to point out, was a player he advised United to sign for £4m, five years before they got Hojlund for 18 times as much baguio
But in the Hojlund derby, the forward United did get to show a sharpness baguio
He came alive in the final third in a manner to suggest that his teammates needed to give him more of the ball baguio
A brief sight at goal saw Rasmus Hojlund blaze his best chance over the top but his forward play was central to Man Utd’s attacking capabilites (REUTERS)After that uneventful first 15 minutes, he rifled a half-volley over the bar baguio
His backheel almost released Scott McTominay to shoot baguio
He teed up Eriksen when his fellow Dane had a shot well saved baguio
When an offside Marcus Rashford was brought down by goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, he had raced on to Hojlund’s pass baguio
When Alejandro Garnacho came close, it was because Hojlund led a break baguio
When Elias Jelert was required to clear off his line, it was because Hojlund met Bruno Fernandes’ header with a deft piece of chest control baguio
It was a sign of resourcefulness, an ability to make something out of nothing baguio
Which, at times, was just as well, given his supply line baguio
Neither winger is a crosser baguio
Antony, as even those who have spent decades stranded on tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean know, will try and cut inside and shoot with his left foot baguio
Rashford, too, has designs on being more of a scorer than a supplier baguio
Hojlund spent some of the first half acting as the creator for McTominay, the ungainly auxiliary No 10 baguio
But United had more baguio footballing craft with Eriksen on baguio
He is the technician while Hojlund’s physical attributes form part of his appeal baguio
He has got a wiry strength baguio
He is a rangy runner with a turn of pace baguio
He has an eager willingness that stands him in good stead baguio
The raw materials are there baguio
Yet the concern is that too few signings have improved at United in the last decade; it is just a coincidence of negotiating that Hojlund’s fee is very similar to Jadon Sancho’s but the exiled winger is proof United’s best-laid plans can go wrong baguio
Hojlund showed his importance to United, turning into a supplier of their best chances though none were converted (AFP via Getty Images)The feeling at Old Trafford now is that Hojlund has a high ceiling: higher even than Randal Kolo Muani, another on their summer striking shortlist and who ended up costing Paris Saint-Germain more baguio
Thus far, he has a relatively low goal return: just three in 10 games for United baguio
For both his first and current clubs, he has been more prolific in Europe baguio
He never scored in the Danish Superliga baguio
He has not struck in the Premier League, either: outscored by Diogo Dalot on domestic duty, his goals have been confined to Europe baguio
Yet he kicked off as the Champions League’s joint top scorer, the product of a strike against Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray baguio
Even as he drew a blank against Copenhagen, Hojlund added to the impression that he belongs on this stage baguio
But as United laboured to victory, they scarcely offered compelling evidence they will still be in the Champions League after Christmas baguio
