And IBF bantamweight queen Bridges, 37, believes Fury will make light work of his MMA counterpart.

Speaking to Daily Star Sport, she said: "What I've seen, it sounds like all he [Ngannou] has got is some power.

"Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight in the world, I think he beats all of them.

"So he's not going to have a problem with a MMA fighter who's never boxed before. Fury is really slick and strong and could probably knock him out.

"MMA guys can be tough though, they get elbows and knees and shins to the head. But boxing is a bit different.

"I think Fury is going to box his t**s off."

Fury's clash with Ngannou was originally due to be classed as an exhibition rather than a professional contest.

But just hours before the fight, it was confirmed it is set to be a pro bout.

However, Fury's WBC belt will not be on the line.

This is due to Ngannou not being a valid challenger as he is making his professional debut.

It is understood Fury will make around £65million for his crossover bout with Ngannou.

He is then poised to earn £100m for two fights with Oleksandr Usyk.

Both Fury and Usyk are unbeaten as professionals in a combined 55 bouts.

There is still the possibility the clash could be pushed back to early 2024, but Fury has insisted this week that the plan is for it to go ahead on December 23.
