On the 28th of October, WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury will enter the ring against the former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou. It is a fight that has not been wholly welcomed by the boxing realm but still remains one of the most spoken-about bouts of the year. Critics have noted that a fighter like Fury, with a belt to his name, is fighting Ngannou, who has never before boxed in a professional boxing ring.

The Cameroonian-born fighter, Ngannou, undertakes his maiden fight in the boxing realm after his long stint with the UFC, which collapsed at the beginning of this year. His relationship with its president, Dana White deteriorated owing to the stringent rules the company has in view of its fighters seeking to explore other avenues of combat. In pursuit of more lucrative fights for Ngannou, and a fight date after a long break from the ring for Fury, both are set to clash against each other in a boxing ring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. But what are the details of the upcoming clash?

Who is on the fight card for the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou clash?

The Riyadh fight will see the main event of ‘The Gypsy King’ vs. ‘The Predator’. On the undercard remains an array of fights that will become a befitting prelude to the high-profile matchup.

1. David Adeleye v Fabio Wardley
2. Joseph Parker v Simon Kean
3. Martin Bakole v Carlos Takam
4. Arslanbek Makhmudov v Agron Smakici
5. Moses Itauma v TBC

Where to watch and at what time?

Tyson Fury’s championship belt will not be on the line for this fight. Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren has confirmed that it will be a 12-round fight with all the championship rules.
