Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia to be shown exclusively live on TNT Sports Box Office in the UK

On Saturday 28th October, fight fans in the UK and Ireland will witness two worlds collide. Tyson Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion faces Francis Ngannou, former UFC heavyweight champion exclusively live on TNT Sports Box Office.

The highly anticipated fight will take place on 28 October in Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season, the annual entertainment and sports festival. Current WBC heavyweight belt holder, Fury, steps into the ring with the WBC title he’s held since 2020. His opponent Ngannou will make his boxing debut, after trading the octagon for the ring.

Fury will fight for the first time since he retained his title against Derek Chisora in front of 60,000 spectators at London Stadium in December 2022. Coming out of retirement, The Gypsy King put on a dominant performance, winning by TKO in the 10th Round. With a career spanning almost 14 years, Fury remains undefeated having fought 34 times.

His opponent Ngannou left the UFC in January 2023 as the reigning heavyweight champion at the time. His final fight saw him defeat Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 by unanimous decision, adding to his tally of 17 wins and only three losses during his 10-year career. In this transition from MMA, the Cameroonian-French fighter will make his first appearance on a boxing card in Riyadh. Ngannou will rely on his experience in the octagon to put him in contention. The former UFC fighter currently holds the record for the ‘world’s hardest punch’ and has held it since 2018.
