Billy Joe Saunders claims Francis Ngannou made Joe Joyce look like Muhammad Ali when they sparred and predicts KO for Tyson Fury

Billy Joe Saunders believes Francis Ngannou won't last two rounds with Tyson Fury when they fight.

The pair will go head-to-head in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 28 in a boxing match that will appear on both men's records.

The fight being in the boxing ring gives Fury a huge advantage considering he is WBC heavyweight world champion, whereas Ngannou is the former UFC heavyweight champion.

With that being said, Ngannou does have some experience sparring elite heavyweights as he has previously gone a few rounds with Joe Joyce.

'The Juggernaut' is known for his iron chin and incredible ability to take a punch, but even he was impressed by Ngannou's power.

He said: "It was a good experience to spar him. He’s a freak of nature. He’s got phenomenal power.

"Most of the time I was trying to get away from those power shots to avoid getting my head taken off.”

One Twitter user replied, taking a jab at Joyce's defensive capabilities, saying: "Christ he must have some power if Joyce was moving his head."

Before former two-weight world champion Saunders chimed in suggesting he had seen the spar between Joyce and Ngannou.

"Joe looked like Muhammad Ali sparring that big bum..." Saunders said.

And Saunders followed up with a prediction for Ngannou's upcoming bout with Fury, saying: "2 rounds it's over."
