Tyson Fury will fight Francis Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, in a boxing match on October 28.

Moreover, ‘The Gypsy King’ hasn’t fought in 2023. He last defended his WBC title in December 2022 with a TKO win over Derek Chisora in London. On the other hand, ‘The Predator,’  will be making his boxing debut, and last fought in January 2022. In his last UFC match, he beat Ciryl Gane. Furthermore, the wait is enthralling as the fight also involves the youngest heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson.

‘Iron Mike’ is coaching Francis for the fight. He has even boldly claimed that the Cameroonian fighter punches harder than anybody. Now, with seventeen days left for the fight, the PPV price of the match has been unraveled. So, once you look at the amount, you might want to recheck if you’re reading it correctly.
