JOHN FURY hopes Francis Ngannou's recent open workout was nothing more than mind games to get into his son Tyson's head.<\/p>\n

The former UFC heavyweight champion faces the Gypsy King in a controversial crossover clash in Saudi Arabia<\/span> next<\/span> month.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Ngannou has enlisted the services of Mike Tyson to try and down the WBC heavyweight champion and took part in an open workout with the boxing icon earlier this week.<\/p>\n

But his somewhat laboured punching midway through the gruelling workout had fans questioning his chances of victory.<\/p>\n

A clip of a tired Ngannou jabbing and throwing a straight right hand to the body went viral on Thursday and also came to the attention of John.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old said: "Just seen Francis Ngannou and Mike Tyson and that so-called trainer who's got the pads on the open<\/span> workout.<\/p>\n

He continued: "He won't get out the first round. It's probably going to be Tyson's quickest knockout but it [the training video] has got to be kidology, fun and games.<\/p>\n

"Because if that's what he's got, well god help him. He's going to get smashed to bits.<\/p>\n

"That is all I'm saying mate, that's embarrassing. If that's all he can do in a public workout, don't bother doing a public workout. It's a disgrace."<\/p>\n

Ngannou goes into his professional boxing debut as a huge underdog but is nonetheless confident of pulling off one of the biggest upsets in the history<\/span> of the sport.<\/p>\n

The MMA man-mountain said: "My dream was always to box and to box the best.<\/p>\n

"This is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the 'Baddest Man on the Planet'.<\/p>\n

"All I will say to Tyson for now is he better dance in that ring.<\/p>\n

"Because if I touch him, he\u2019s going to sleep<\/span>."<\/p>\n
