He said: “I’m gonna make it nice and short.
“It’s like a table tennis champion facing Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.”
But fans were left fuming with the Gypsy King’s comments as they prepare to fork out £21.95 to watch the fight.
One fan complained: “That’s a terrible way to sell PPVs.”
A second Tweeted: “Djokovic would win 6-0, 6-0, 6-0. I don’t think many would be buying that PPV.”

A fourth said: “Yeah, we know Tyson, that is why we’re not paying for it.”
A fifth declared: “Bit of a strange analogy by Tyson but I like it.”

Fury weighed in a massive 19st 11lbs for the mammoth clash with Ngannou.
The 35-year-old was 19st 2lbs for his last fight against Derek Chisora in December.
And he has packed on half a stone to be a juggernaut of a fighter in the cross-over bout that should tee-up the undisputed decider with Oleksandr Usyk on December 23.
Ngannou however tipped the scales at 19st 4lbs.
