Tyson Fury is not as tall as he says he is, claims Francis Ngannou in bizarre argument with Gypsy King ahead of fight | The Sun

FRANCIS NGANNOU bizarrely questioned Tyson Fury's true height ahead of their fight.

The boxing and MMA superstars collide in a crossover clash this Saturday in Saudi Arabia.

Fury is listed as 6ft 9in while Ngannou is 6ft 4in – but when the two came face to face there was little to separate them.

And the ex-UFC champion – making his boxing debut – believes the Gypsy King may be smaller than he makes out.

He told TNT Sports: “They say he’s 6ft 9in? But this doesn’t look like five inches difference, right?"

Fury, 35, quickly interjected: "How tall are you?"

Ngannou, 37, responded: "They say I’m, 6ft 4in."

Fury replied: "I think really you are about 6ft 2in."

Ngannou hit back: "Well, I would say you're about 6ft 5in'."

Fury heads into the fight full of confidence and even gave away his game plan to Ngannou's face.

He said: "I’m gonna knock him out inside six rounds. And shall I tell you how I’m going to do it?

"Get on the front foot, high arm, sticking him with a punishing jab, 19, 20 stone in the face, boom, boom, boom, bust him up, swell his eyes out, and then feint, slip, bang! KO.
