The much-anticipated marquee crossover fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou will go down tonight in a few hours. The fans are extremely excited, as it seems like the whole boxing world is currently in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This bout has garnered a lot of attention from various parts of the world, and the clash between the two best heavyweight fighters from two different sports isn’t something that is seen every day. So the hype is quite obvious, as it’s a contest that’s taking place for the first time in history.

The former UFC heavyweight champion is going against the current WBC heavyweight champion inside a squared ring, to determine who’s the ‘Baddest’ among both of them. However, the fans got a bit outraged at the TNT Sports PPV stream, as it stopped working for several minutes. The anger is apparent since the fans have paid a $79.99 pay-per-view price to watch the fight live without any obstructions, and it definitely leaves a vile taste whenever such things take place.

The boxing reporter Michael Benson became the savior of the fans on X. The fans must have been baffled when the stream got shut down all of a sudden, so he posted about it being down officially in his X post. 14 minutes later, he made another post to update the viewers about the stream being back and running smoothly. However, some fans were still facing some issues.

One of the fans made a joke about how the stream is still having issues, using the title of the fight ‘Battle of the Baddest’.

Another fan mentioned that it never got shut down for them. In fact, they’ve been watching it continuously on their Amazon Fire TV stick.

One fan talked about how they could only hear some screaming, meanwhile, there’s nothing to see on the screen. So, it’s just audio, and no visual available for them.
