‘Bandages around my head’: Aussie’s crazy sparring to help UFC star end Tyson Fury
Dubbed ‘White Chocolate’, the 28-year-old southpaw has been hand-picked by Team Ngannou because of both his similarity in size to Tyson – he’s only five centimetres shorter – and ability to switch stances.
After 14 months out of the ring, the boxer returned last Wednesday night to beat Marsters via split decision, with two judges giving him the result 58-55 while a third went the other way, 57-56. “It was difficult sparring Francis so soon after my last fight,” Jackson said. “And I still had four stitches from a cut.
“After sparring, Francis was telling me how he walked, on foot, through three countries to get to Morocco, then cross over into Spain to try and change his life,” he said.“It was special listening to his story to understand his mindset and dedication.” “In saying that, on a bad night in the office I still showed maturity in my boxing and was able to beat my opponent on what I feel was one of his best career performances and I look forward to what is next.”Only last week, it was revealed ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson was also partnering with Ngannou to assist with his boxing crossover.
