Oscar De La Hoya Says Francis Ngannou Has ‘Zero’ Chance To Beat Tyson Fury

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya‘s breaking down Francis Ngannou‘s odds of beating Tyson Fury within the boxing ring Saturday night time … placing his probability squarely at “ZERO,” flat out telling us it ain’t taking place!

TMZ Sports activities was chatting with ODLH — as he was selling boxing star Ryan Garcia‘s upcoming return to the ring — after we requested him about right this moment’s struggle in Saudi Arabia … pitting The Predator, MMA’s most feared striker, vs. The Gypsy King, the most effective heavyweight boxer on the planet.

“I think I have a better chance at beating Tiger Woods in golf,” Oscar advised us … not mincing a single phrase.

We adopted up … no probability in any respect?!

“Zero,” De La Hoya responded.

“I’ll tell you one thing about Tyson Fury and Ngannou. It’s gonna be entertaining, while it lasts I believe. Tyson Fury, you have to realize, he went in there against [Deontay] Wilder. He goes in there vs. Wladimir Klitschko, so he’s a fighter all his life inside the boxing ring.”

Despite clearly seeing no approach the previous UFC champ can win, Oscar nonetheless gave him credit score for accepting the bout.

“Ngannou, I commend him for even trying this. I take my hat off to him for even trying this. He’s gonna make a s***load of money. I just think when Tyson Fury gets his number and his rhythm, he’s gonna play with him and probably knock him out.”

FYI, Francis final fought in January 2022 — a UFC contest — towards heavyweight contender, Ciryl Gane. Ngannou received by unanimous determination. Tyson final fought and beat Derek Chisora by TKO in December 2022.

Fury is considered not simply the most effective heavyweight boxer of his period, however of of the best ever, interval. In the meantime, Ngannou, a striker who places worry in his opponents, has by no means boxed professionally.

Backside line, there may not be anybody on the market who is aware of boxing higher than De La Hoya … however as they are saying, there is a purpose they play the sport, or on this case, have the struggle.
