In one of the most highly-anticipated fights of the year, WBC heavyweight champ Fury faces former UFC heavyweight champ Ngannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The 10-round bout — dubbed the “Rumble in Riyadh” — will be fought in a regulation boxing ring with three judges scoring the fight under current boxing rules.

Still, the Cameroonian — who is currently signed to the Professional Fighters League — is expected to put up a good challenge, with oddsmakers noting his agility and striking style, which could catch Fury off guard.

As crossover fights go, Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou promises to be the biggest since Rocky vs Thunderlips. The so-called Battle of the Baddest pits the heavyweight boxing world champ against the erstwhile UFC heavyweight supremo this Saturday, October 28, in a clash of super-sized fighting machines.
Fury needs no introduction. An official king of the ring since 2020 and widely considered the lineal champion long before that, the Brit is outlandish, a showman who courts attention and controversy. From dressing up as batman for a press conference, smashing watermelons with his head and belting out American Pie from the ring, there's never a dull moment with the Gypsy King.
Standing at 6’ 9” with a ludicrous 85" reach, he invariably towers over his opponents, but it's not just brawn that's taken him to the top. Fury is one of the smartest boxers on the planet, and his key assets are speed and finesse, both of which belie his unconventional physique.
Ngannou, meanwhile, has waited patiently for a bout like this for four years. Whilst MMA is his specialty, boxing was his first love from a young age, and he possesses supreme knockout ability.
The story of "The Predator" is as inspiring as it is impressive. From sleeping rough on the streets of Paris to fighting in the UFC within five years, his rapid rags-to-riches tale is genuinely inspiring, though of course that hasn't stopped Fury from pledging to knock him out within six rounds.
The 6’ 4” former UFC god racked up numerous knockouts in the Octagon, and is said to have registered the hardest punch on record, equivalent to a crushing 96 horsepower. Deontay Wilder's power caused Fury a bit of bother in their first bout, so as far as the proverbial puncher's chance goes, Ngannou's got as good a shot as anyone, and the 37-year-old will be looking to land that big right fist at every opportunity.
If that wasn't enough drama, "Iron" Mike Tyson, who Fury was named after, has been training Ngannou specially. Counting as an official bout under strict boxing rules, this blockbuster crossover event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this Saturday 28th October.
WBC heavyweight champion Fury was last in the ring for his title defence against Derek Chisora in December. Fury has since agreed to take on unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in the first undisputed title fight in the division since 1999.
First, Fury will be looking to keep his unbeaten record intact against former UFC champion Ngannou, who holds a world record for his punching power. Fury’s title will not be on the line but his pride will be as he takes on a phenomenally heavy hitter making his boxing debut. It has been confirmed that the fight will be 10 rounds and will go on both men’s professional records.
While boxing purists may see this fight as a roadblock to Fury’s undisputed clash with Usyk, the fight represents a success story for Ngannou. The 37-year-old was born in Cameroon, where he worked in a sand quarry as a child, before living on the streets of Paris until discovering MMA, a decade ago. Ngannou was the reigning UFC champion when he turned down a new contract in order to pursue his initial dream of becoming a professional boxer.
