Ngannou-Fury set for October 28th

July 11, 2023 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury are set to square off in Saudi Arabia on October 28th. The former UFC heavyweight champion will take on boxing’s lineal heavyweight champion.

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
