Francis Ngannou determined to “double check” Tyson Fury’s gloves despite Joe Rogan’s skepticism

Francis Ngannou recently opened up about his upcoming boxing bout against Tyson Fury this Saturday. He indicated that he is determined to get reassurance regarding Tyson Fury's gloves despite Joe Rogan's skepticism.

While speaking to Boxing Social, the former UFC heavyweight champion brought up that he has heard about a potential issue regarding 'The Gypsy King's gloves perhaps giving him an advantage in his fights. As a result, he mentioned that he expects to look into that prior to their bout:

"I do not believe [he has cheated]. I have heard a lot of complaints from people that he has fought. So, I raise that issue just to double-check."

It's also important to note that Joe Rogan had disputed those questions surrounding Tyson Fury's gloves when Francis Ngannou appeared on his podcast. The UFC commentator and JRE host mentioned that he doesn't believe 'The Gypsy King' is cheating with his gloves because of his fighting style, saying:

"When you watch him boxing, he's doing this, he flicks, flicks, flicks. He shows you it, pop! And then he drops a big punch in. His style of like, keeping that hand loose and flicking. Sometimes that wrist opens way up, people are like, 'Look, his gloves not even attached.' His gloves attached, you don't know what the f**k you're talking about."

It will be interesting to see what transpires when Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury meet in the ring, as the former UFC heavyweight champion is a heavy underdog.
