Heavyweight champion Fury faces the MMA star, who has Mike Tyson in his corner, in a boxing ring under Queensberry rules over ten rounds.
Supporters are concerned that the fight will be a complete mismatch after a video emerged of Ngannou looking laboured in training.
The Cameroonian-born star seemed to lack a hard-hitting punch as he prepared for the contest with his trainer.
Fans are convinced it will be a routine win for Fury, saying: “This in slow motion?”
Another added: “Man this ain’t gone be funny how much of a mismatch this is going to be.”
A third reacted: “This has to be a joke, he has to be playing into the bad pad work scheme at this point.”
A fourth suggested: “Naaaa Ngannou is getting smoked.”
Despite backing from fans, Fury believes that his opponent will cause him more trouble than some other established heavyweight boxers.

The Gypsy King said: “I think he’s going to be a bit of a bigger, tougher challenge than these other guys. These other guys are just boxers, this guy’s more than that.”
But Fury is still aware he is the heavy favourite, adding: “If I lose to an MMA guy I’ll never be able to show my face in public again.
“It’s going to ridicule me – people will chuck it at me forever.
“If I get knocked out, then I want you all to laugh at me. That’s what I want, because I deserve it.”
