It means his final preparations are taking place this week as he prepares to try and shock the world against the WBC king.
In the footage of Ngannou‘s camp, he could be seen working out with weights as he said: “Final week of camp starts now.”
The MMA star was also skipping and performing some pull-ups in the gym.
Ngannou, who is being trained by boxing legend Mike Tyson, also squeezed in some cardio on the rowing and running machines.
And he finished the clips by adding the short caption: “See you guys soon.”
When speaking about Tyson helping him out in camp, Ngannou told The Mail: “Having Mike Tyson present just makes you realise what is happening.
“You know that you have a fight and obviously you are serious about it but it seems like there is something missing.
“You’re like ‘Ok I have a fight but what else do I need’. Then you have Mike Tyson and he’s basically like the biggest boxing figure.

“It makes me think ‘Oh man, this is serious, very very serious. It doesn’t get more serious than this’.
“That alone brings you a lot of motivation. Even when you’re tired, even when you’re done for the day, I’m like ‘Man one more. I want to do one more’.
“I’m like ‘I just want to be like that man’. So all that stuff, has helped me mentally already.
“Then of course, there is the technical aspect that he is bringing too.
“We all know how technical Mike Tyson was so obviously having his tips and hearing from him is very helpful for me.
“I won’t have his boxing style but I can definitely learn a lot from him.”
Meanwhile, fight fans were left furious earlier this week after learning the pay-per-view price for Fury vs Ngannou.
