Carl Froch says Mike Tyson has a better chance of beating Tyson Fury than Francis Ngannou

Carl Froch is giving Francis Ngannou very little chance to pull off an upset against Tyson Fury on Saturday night.
So much so, that he gives Ngannou’s trainer and the former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson more of a chance, despite being 57-years-old.
Tyson will be in former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou’s corner on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as he comes up against Fury.
But, Froch thinks it would take a miracle for Ngannou to emerge victorious, as he told Best Gambling Sites: "Bringing Mike Tyson in has brought more interest to it, it’s like he’s glamorised the event.
“Wherever he goes he’s like a god. He’s a f***ing mad, brilliant fighter and the ultimate fighting machine.
“There’s an argument to say Mike Tyson would give Tyson Fury a better fight than Francis Ngannou.
“He’s got all of that experience, he’s an old man, but he’d give Tyson Fury more of a fight for two or three rounds than Francis Ngannou is going to manage.
“The trainer has got more of a chance than Ngannou, 100 per cent. He has, hasn’t he? You can’t argue with that."
Froch continued: "Listen, this is a f***ing sparring session, probably the easiest spar he’s ever had.
“I don’t care that Ngannou can punch, a mule can kick really hard, but he's never going to be able to line it up.
“Fury's not going to be worried about getting hit by that monstrous punch because I’ve seen Ngannou on the pads and he looks terrible.
“He looks like what I’d expect a zero fight novice to look like. Ngannou looked slow, awkward, stiff – how is he going to get near Fury? He’s going to get his head absolutely peppered off."
