“Like In Rocky?”: Fans Go Wild After Photos of “Crazy” Retractable Ring for Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Main Event Breaks the Internet

Tonight, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou will engage in a 10-round clash at Riyadh’s Boulevard Hall in Saudi Arabia. This long-anticipated showdown carries historic significance, akin to the Mayweather vs. McGregor bout in 2017. It also marks Ngannou’s debut in professional boxing after leaving the UFC and relinquishing his heavyweight title earlier this year. Meanwhile, ‘The Gypsy King,’ Fury, returns to the ring after his dominant 10th-round TKO victory over Derek Chisora last December. Moreover, after being trained by the boxing legend Mike Tyson himself, Ngannou appears confident for the fight.

The anticipation for the fight is at its all-time peak as Fury has his undefeated record on the line. Furthermore, the outcome of this bout may also end up affecting his fight against Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk on December 23. As the event commences an interesting detail has come out and made waves on social media. It appears that the main event is going to have a retractable ring. Fight Hub Marcos shared the picture of the ring on Twitter, writing, “Yoooo a retractable ring for later tonight for this Fury vs Ngannou main event!”.
