The much-awaited bout between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury is about to start in a few hours. Fans and experts alike have presented their theories on what would happen on this fateful night. While most of the boxing community has shown their support for Tyson Fury, Nagnnou has the legendary Mike Tyson on his side. Yet, that wasn’t enough to tip the balance of favor on Ngannou’s side. 

Moreover, the fight will be the biggest boxing event since Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor entered the ring. However, the burning question is – like Floyd and Mcgregor, will history repeat itself? Or Ngannou would prevail against all odds. While what happens in the ring tonight is hard to predict, boxing legend Lennox Lewis has given his two cents on how he would have tackled the WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.

Lennox Lewis’ strategy to take down Tyson Fury

While talking to Top Rank Boxing, the reporter questioned how prime Lennox would approach a fight with Tyson Fury. Lennox whimsically responded, “I am the best. Nobody can test. I lay them all to rest.” However, when probed further about a serious breakdown, Lenox shared his candid strategy to defeat Tyson Fury.

Lennox asserted he would just go on the offensive against Fury. “For me to go against Tyson Fury, I would just go after him,” Lennox told Top Rank Boxing. Lewis justified his strategy by claiming he likes to fight against bigger opponents. “Because I like going after big guys because I feel like I can fight,” said Lewis. It’s worth mentioning that Deontay Wilder had a similar strategy, and everyone knows what happened to him.
