FRANCIS NGANNOU menacingly warned Tyson Fury he would be making a mistake picking a fight with him outside the ring - where there are no Queensberry rules.
UFC champion Ngannou floored heavily-favoured Fury on his professional boxing debut last October en route to a controversial 10-round points defeat.
Despite having his hand raised, Fury endured the worst night of his career as he was given a torrid time by the newcomer.
Ngannou shocked insiders with his know-how and left hook, which floored Fury. Ngannou held his own with the giant Fury in close, too.
Now the Cameroonian faces Anthony Joshua in his second professional bout tomorrow night with a shot at Fury or Oleksandr Usyk - for the undisputed title - on the line for the winner.
