Fans joke after bizarre shadowboxing video that Tyson Fury “hasn’t been in the ring in so long he’s forgotten what sport he’s in”.

TYSON FURY convinced fans he’s forgotten what sport he’s in after showing off some MMA skills.

Fury has not been in the ring since December, when it took him ten rounds to beat his old rival Derek Chisora ​​for a third time.

And his next fight is expected to be against former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou.

The fight will be fought in a boxing ring but Fury has shown he can combine his punches just like Ngannou, tearing off some knees and elbows.

One fan said: “Blud has been out of the ring for so long he’s forgotten what sport he’s in.”

Another added: “Looks amazing champ.”

One joked, “Why is he throwing elbows like he’s going anywhere near a cage to fight in MMA?”

The heavyweight stars of boxing and MMA are about to confirm their extravagant show.

It will be Ngannou’s first foray into boxing, which he paved the way for after leaving the UFC after his contract expired.

Fury, on the other hand, fell through in talks against Oleksandr Usyk this year, which would have seen all four heavyweight belts at stake for the first time ever.

Now 36-year-old Usyk will defend his combined WBA, IBF and WBO belts against Daniel Dubois, 25, on August 26 in Poland.

And Anthony Joshua, 33, returns in a rematch with Dillian Whyte, 35, on August 12.

AJ then has a super fight against 37-year-old Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia.

That has somewhat let down 34-year-old Fury, forcing him to turn his attention to 36-year-old Ngannou.

They also face a showdown with Saudi Arabia that probably doesn’t have the WBC title at stake.

Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are close to confirming their fight
