Fury – Ngannou is the most exciting fight in the history of martial arts. Among the guests are Ronaldo and Ronaldo, Lewis and McGregor, Usik and Pacquiao, and two rings were built for the boxing evening

On October 28, the big festival season opens in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The main event of the opening ceremony is a 10-round boxing match between WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. Riyadh’s championship belt is at stake. And the event itself promises to be the brightest in the history of boxing and MMA.

We have already written that two big fights, besides Fury – Ngannou, this is also the announced unification fight in the heavyweight division, Fury – Usyk, are part of the state strategy of Saudi Arabia.

The money allocated by the sheikhs and the personal charm and negotiation skills of the chairman of the country’s General Directorate of Entertainment Affairs, Turki Al ash-Sheikh, who is responsible for events, are doing their job. It seems that watching the events around the ring will be even more interesting than the Fury-Ngannou confrontation.

By the way, if we talk about the ring, there will be two of them on October 28 at the Riyadh Arena, specially built for two big boxing evenings. The Fury-Ngannou fight will take place at the central one, and the official opening ceremony of the festival season will take place in the same place. Most undercard fights are on the other side.

For the Fury-Ngannou fight, the World Boxing Council, according to which the Gypsy King is the world champion, has prepared a special belt. The organizers presented the guests and participants of the boxing evening with expensive watches from a famous Swiss brand. And the concentration of world boxing and sports stars in Riyadh is now prohibitive.

In particular, the Brazilian Ronaldo arrived in Saudi Arabia.

Another star football player, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not have to travel far.

Alexander Usik also arrived for the fight, having already met with Fury, and now he will evaluate the arena of the future fight.

Conor McGregor arrived in Riyadh.

Here, of course, is Mike Tyson, who helped Ngannou prepare for the fight.

Lennox Lewis and Manny Pacquiao came to the fight.

Of course, where there is glitter and gold, there is Oscar De La Hoya.

Rio Ferdinand, who is a boxer himself, came to support Fury.

Shannon Briggs, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jarred Anderson, Roberto Duran, Antonio Tarver and many others. Riyadh has become truly stellar. And, I think, gold.
