The Most Anticipated Fight Of All Time!

Former Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou face the boxing world champion Tyson Fury on October 28, 2023, in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia. The boxing fight is not worth the belt of the category and has the duration of ten rounds. The Cameroonian’s desire to face Fury is old and Dana White’s organization contract does not allow confrontations outside the event was one of the reasons why the athlete left the UFC and signed with the PFL.

Ngannou and Fury announced the fight on social networks and there was provocation between the fighters. The British boxer used social networks to challenge the athlete: “Are you ready, Francis Ngannou?”, posted the current WBC heavyweight champion.

The Cameroonian returned the provocation and said: “I’ve been ready for the last three years”, declared the fighter, who is known for his strong knockout power in the UFC.
