Finally, the long-awaited crossover clash of two combat powerhouses is a reality. Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and current boxing heavyweight Tyson Fury will go toe-to-toe against each other on October 28, 2023, in Riyadh,  Saudi Arabia.  The fight’s date and location were first announced by ESPN.

Who is going to be “The baddest man on the planet”? This is a question that has vexed both boxing and MMA fans alike for almost a year. But now, fans finally know when they will get the answer. The promo video of the fight is out, and as expected, both the contenders didn’t waste time firing shots at each other on social media.

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury go all out against each other

Tyson Fury fired the first salvo by tagging ‘The Predator’ on the promotional video and taunting him about his readiness for the bout.  He tweeted, “Are you ready @Francis Ngannou!?”. Ngannou replied by saying, “I’ve been ready the past 3 years”.  More words have been exchanged between the two, and neither is backing down.  The video had a lot to express as it displayed the entire buildup that the fans have been anticipating.

It’s been more than a year since the rumors of a fight between the two started circulating. Now that the fight has been confirmed, the buildup in the coming days will be even more exciting, it seems.

Shedding light on the magnificence of both the greats

A potential fight between Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury would be a highly anticipated matchup between two physical specimens with immense power. One of the most lethal heavyweights in the annals of mixed martial arts is Francis Ngannou. He boasts victories over other top-ranked heavyweights, including Stipe Miocic, Junior dos Santos, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and possesses knockout power in both hands. Ngannou has a commanding physical presence and remarkable athleticism for someone his of size.

Tyson Fury, on the other hand, is a skilled fighter who has developed his exceptional skills over more than two decades, making him the most successful heavyweight boxer of his period. Tyson Fury is a boxer known for his technical skills and movement. He has a 33-0-1 record and has defeated many top-ranked heavyweight boxers, such as Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko, and Dereck Chisora. Comparatively, Ngannou’s skill set is solid by MMA standards but rudimentary by boxing standards. Given Ngannou’s abilities, speed, and tenacity, it won’t be simple for ‘The Gypsy King’ to defeat ‘The Predator’. How do you anticipate this battle? Will Ngannou be able to win the debut boxing bout? Will it be Fury cementing his reign?
