What have they said?
Tyson Fury: “It is absolutely unbelievable to be out here in the great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to be top of the bill is even more special. A big shout-out to everyone involved. We’ve all got a lot to be thankful for and we’ve all come a long, long way to be here and this has happened in such a short space of time. To see it all unfold and to be privy to some of the phone calls and organising and stuff, to now see it in real life is amazing. First and foremost I just want say thank you, I am so happy to be here and secondly I’ve got big Francis Ngannou to fight. He’s a big man and I see he’s took a bit of advice from me with the clothes he’s wearing, he’s looking a bit snazzy. They say the finest form of flattery is imitation and he’s got his suit with no shirt on. I started that. Many will imitate, but not one will ever replicate. Because there’s only one Gypsy King.”
Francis Ngannou: “Where do I start? I think this is a manifestation, a dream come true. I remember four years ago when I met Mike Tyson, my only request was when I fight Tyson Fury will you be in my corner? People thought I was losing it, I was crazy, it would never happen. Here we are and the fight is happening, so I am very excited, I am living the dream. It is never easy. I want to thank everybody here who has helped to make the fight happen. It might be a little weird, but I also want to thank Tyson Fury for taking the fight, for taking the risk because there is a lot of risk here for him too. He might go to sleep on Saturday night, so I appreciate his courage and thank him a lot for the opportunity as well.”
