Francis Ngannou is making his boxing debut following a lengthy illustrious career in the UFC, which came to an end earlier this year. His relationship with UFC President Dana White soured due to the organization’s strict rules regarding fighters pursuing opportunities in other combat sports. In the quest for lucrative fights, Ngannou returns to the ring after a significant hiatus.

The former middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya is also in Riyadh to witness the match, and surprisingly he met the ‘Slim Shady’ Eminem. Adesanya took to X (formerly Twitter) to add a video of him doing a handshake with the GOAT and identified himself as an Eminem fan. He captioned the video “I identify as Stan in this moment.”
