While all of the boxing and MMA outlets reported the news on Tuesday, it is not known at this point whether the fight will be for Fury’s WBC heavyweight title and whether it will count toward their professional boxing records. Hence, is it an exhibition or not?
What remains unclear is the number of rounds, whether Fury’s WBC heavyweight title will be on the line, and whether the fight will count toward their professional boxing records.
Ngannou released a video on twitter with the hashtag #FuryNgannou and #RidyadhSeason
