Francis Ngannou's coach reveals Mike Tyson was 'The Predator's' inspiration for boxing

Ahead of Francis Ngannou's second boxing outing against Anthony Joshua, his coach, Dewey Cooper, spoke to Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview.

Cooper mentioned that Mike Tyson shares a close bond with 'The Predator' and "is family". He also revealed that it was Tyson's career that inspired Ngannou to pursue boxing even before his UFC exit.

Cooper said:

“Well, Mike is his family to us. Mike and I have been friends since the 90s. He used to come to my fights and show me support and love, and Francis talked about this over four years ago. Before Francis won the heavyweight championship in the UFC, Mike Tyson was his inspiration to want to do this boxing thing. So Francis and Mike Tyson have a very special relationship. So even if Mike isn’t here, him and Francis talk, his motivation is there one way or another."
