In a few moments, Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, will go up against the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. In the lead-up to the main event, people got to witness numerous knockouts. But Fury vs. Ngannou is the fight people came to see. A recent clip of Fury’s family celebrating the fight garners negative attention from the boxing world.

In the lead-up to the fight, Ngannou is a massive underdog. So, he might have called on some family members to show some support. Top Rank Boxing recently turned to X (formerly Twitter) to share a clip of Ngannou’s family celebrating the fight. The caption of the tweet read, “@Francis_Ngannou having a pre-fight moment with his family.” Surprisingly, the celebrations did not sit well with the boxing world, as fans took to the comment section to express their disapproval.

Another user questioned if Ngannou brought his entire village to the fight. It’s worth mentioning that before signing the contract, Ngannou had asked the Saudi organizers to fly his family to the event. So they can be present in the audience of the big fight. It’s also the first time Ngannou’s family would attend any of Ngannou’s fights.

With mere moments from the fight, Ngannou’s family seems happy and confident about the fight. However, the responses from the boxing world do not reflect the same. What do you think? Is Ngannou’s family celebrating too soon?
