Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou: Date Set For Blockbuster Heavyweight Fight in Riyadh

• Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are set for a boxing match slated for Riyadh on October 28
• Speculation has finally been put to now with the two enigmatic heavyweights set to dual
• The Cameroonian fighter recently signed a deal with the PFL and can now fight at the boxing main event

British boxer Tyson Fury will take on Cameroon mixed-martial artist Francis Ngannou in a blockbuster boxing heavyweight bout in Saudi Arabia.

The encounter will take place in Riyadh on Saturday, October 28, when both heavyweight champions enter the ring.

Fury is currently the WBC champion, while Ngannou is the heavyweight champion in the MMA and recently joined PFL as a fighter.

Punch reports that Ngannou earlier vacated his heavyweight title following a dispute with UFC earlier in the year.

In March, former lightweight champion Jon Jones won the vacant belt against Ciryl Gane and will defend it in November at UFC 295.

A few months earlier, Ngannou signed a deal with the PFL and can now fight at the main events of pay-per-view fights and also became a PFL executive.

Ngannou then told DAZN that he would love to take on Fury but understood the tough logistics might not make that possible.

And now reports have it that a clash between the pair has been finalised to determine who the “Baddest Man on the Planet” is.

It will take place under the official rules of professional boxing, with three judges ringside adopting the 10-point must system.

Both fighters, however, promise to meet in the middle of the ring, go to war and win by knockout in devastating fashion.
