With just a few hours left for the biggest crossover event in combat sports, the fans are getting more excited with every passing minute. The Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou event has garnered a lot of attention, and besides fans, it has also dragged a lot of boxing legends to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

So, the hype for this bout is already too much, and hopefully, the fighters will be able to deliver it.

In the Gala, there were some peculiar names that the world could never imagine seeing under the same roof. Mike Tyson was seen sharing a stage with Teddy Atlas, and even his former rival, Buster Douglas. Even Oleksandr Usyk joined the legendary attendance in Riyadh, even though he had to be seen alongside his future opponent, Tyson Fury. The fans went wild in the comments section.
