Fury the WBC heavyweight champion suggested he'd fight Ngannou when the pair spoke in the ring following the Briton's win over Dillian Whyte at the weekend.
"We both want this fight, that's clear, and we respect each other," Ngannou told the MMA Hour podcast.
"Probably next year it will happen. I think it's going to happen, it's just a matter of our promotions, but we will sort this out at some point."
Ngannou, who defended his title with a win over Cyril Gane in January, said the potential bout could combine elements of boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA).
