After a deal with Oleksandr Usyk fell through, Tyson Fury will now face MMA fighter Francis Ngannou in a boxing match in Saudi Arabia. Ngannou, who has no professional record in boxing, expressed his excitement about the opportunity. If Fury wins, he is expected to face Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
So, what's going on here then? After Tyson Fury gained a brutal stoppage win over Derek Chisora in December, everything seemed set for WBC champion Fury to take on the man holding the other heavyweight belts, Oleksandr Usyk, to find an undisputed champion. But nothing is ever straight forward in boxing and a deal could not be sorted immediately so in July it was announced Fury would face MMA fighter Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.
Fury will not be defending his WBC title in the Riyadh bout, which will be held over 10 three-minute rounds and will count on Fury's professional record. Ngannou said it was a dream come true to box Fury. 'I've been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years,' he said. 'All I will say is he better dance in that ring because if I touch him, he's going to sleep.
