<\/p>\n

John Fury has labelled Francis Ngannou\u2019s open workout with Mike Tyson a \u2018disgrace\u2019 and \u2019embarrassing\u2019 ahead of his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury next month.<\/p>\n

The former UFC heavyweight champion will face Fury, the current WBC heavyweight title holder, in Saudi Arabia on October 28.<\/p>\n

Ngannou has enlisted the help of Mike Tyson to help his preparations for his fight with Fury.<\/p>\n

But Fury\u2019s father, John, was unimpressed with footage of Ngannou\u2019s open workout and claims the 37-year-old MMA fighter \u2018ain\u2019t got a prayer\u2019 against his son in a boxing ring.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just seen Francis Ngannou and Mike Tyson and that so-called trainer what\u2019s got the pads on, seen the open workout. I hope he\u2019s kidding along and he\u2019s playing possum here,\u2019 Fury said Wednesday on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u2018But you know what? It\u2019s got to be kidology, that. It\u2019s got to be fun and games. Because if that\u2019s what he\u2019s got, well, God help him, he\u2019ll get smashed to bits. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying, mate. That\u2019s embarrassing.<\/p>\n

\u2018If that\u2019s what he can do on a public workout, don\u2019t bother doing a public workout. It\u2019s a disgrace.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mike Tyson believes Ngannou could use his strength as an advantage against Fury in the ring.<\/p>\n

\u2018I don\u2019t think he\u2019s [Fury] going to be able to wrestle him,\u2019 Tyson said.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think Francis is a lot stronger than him, he\u2019s going to push him around.\u2019<\/p>\n
