Francis Ngannou agrees to Tyson Fury’s special rules boxing bout: ‘What else?’

Conor McGregor pioneered the concept in 2017, and then Jake Paul ran it into the ground over the last two years. At this point we all know what the end result will be, which may be why “The Gypsy King” decided to spice up the presentation of a potential fight with Ngannou.
