FRANCIS NGANNOU menacingly warned Tyson Fury he would be making a grave mistake by picking a fight with him on the street.
Former UFC champion Ngannou dropped Fury on his professional boxing debut last October en route to a controversial points defeat.

The Cameroonian will face Joshua in his second professional bout on Friday with a shot at either Fury (right) or Usyk and the undisputed title on the line for the winner. And three nights before the first bell, Ngannou and Joshua were invited to an audience with boxing's new ringmaster Turki Alalshikh, a Saudi bigwig.
