Before he even has his first pro boxing match, Francis Ngannou has brought another layer of intrigue to his fight with Tyson Fury.
A month out from the fight in Saudi Arabia, Ngannou (0-0) said he thinks Fury (33-0-1) has cheated in past fights by manipulating his gloves to make them smaller and less padded. Ngannou said he will request extra checks of Fury’s gloves on fight night.
Ngannou says he’s heard complaints from some of Fury’s previous opponents, and that’s what’s made him suspicious about potential glove tampering. Is his move a fair question? Might it be a head game?
