RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury added another layer to their rivalry before the former UFC heavyweight champ’s return to the boxing ring on Friday against Anthony Joshua.
With Ngannou vs. Joshua fight week in full swing, a group was invited to the residence of Turki Al-Sheikh on Tuesday that included Eddie Hearn, both headliners, co-headliners Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker, as well as Fury.
There’s a consistent story told by many who witnessed it, that Fury walked in and immediately confronted Ngannou to kick off a spirited and tense conversation over the result of their October bout, which Fury won by controversial split decision. On Wednesday, Ngannou shared his side of how it unfolded.
