The fight will take place on October 28
WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and former UFC champion Francis Ngannou had a duel of glances before their fight.
The Briton and his team came to the ceremony stripped to the waist. The boxers, standing face to face, started a small verbal skirmish, which ended with comic gestures.
The 10-round fight between Fury and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will take place on October 28 in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The WBC granted Tyson special permission to fight the former UFC champion.
The Riyadh championship belt will be at stake in the Fury-Ngannou fight. The British promoter Frank Warren presented a special trophy at a joint press conference.
It is expected that immediately after this fight the final date for the unification fight between Fury and WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO belt holder Alexander Usyk will be confirmed. According to the “Gypsy King”, the meeting in the ring with the Ukrainian specified in the contract is December 23, 2023.
