Tyson Fury hits back at ‘insulting’ question ahead of boxing return against UFC legend Francis Ngannou | The Sun

TYSON FURY has hit back at an "insulting" question about his physique ahead of his boxing return.

The WBC heavyweight world champion is set to take on UFC legend Francis Ngannou next month.

It will mark the first time Fury has fought in 10 months, having last entered the ring in December 2022.

Fury has previously faced claims he looks "out of shape" between fights, including at the start of last year.

The 10th round technical knockout defeat of Chisora last December was Fury's last fight, but he remains the WBC heavyweight champion.
