The contest on October 28 will be Ngannou's professional boxing debut, and as a result many are backing Fury to make easy work of the former UFC heavyweight champion. 

However, Haye believes that some MMA fans would like to see Ngannou break boxing's traditional rules and take Fury out of his comfort zone by utilising his MMA skills. 

"Who could stop him? If he puts a rear naked choke hold on Tyson, who can stop him?" Haye told Seconds Out. 

"He could probably kill him. Who could physically get him off? You’d have to shoot him if he chooses to do that, that’s how powerful he is. I’d keep it long-range if I was Tyson.”

When it came to looking ahead to the fight itself, Haye claimed that it is all down to Fury and whether he wants to make it entertaining for fans watching across the world. 

"Is he going to go out there and just dispatch him? Or is he going to tie him up, make him tired, hit him with some body shots and put on a show?" Haye continued. 

"I think Fury is good enough to make it entertaining, or he could go out there like he did with Deontay Wilder the second time and just smoke him. I’d like him to drag it out 6/7 rounds, bust him up and show why there is a difference between professional boxers and MMA fighters.”
