Tyson Fury has vowed to prove he is the hardest hitter in combat sports when he takes on former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Heavyweight boxing world champion Fury will meet MMA star Ngannou over 10 rounds in Saudi Arabia on October 28. The Brit's belt will not be on the line but the fight will be scored by three ringside judges in Riyadh.
Fury had been expected to fight fellow champion Oleksandr Usyk this year but instead turned his attention to Ngannou who gave up his UFC title when he left the promotion last year. And Fury said: “As soon as that bell goes, it’ll be bombs away! This guy is supposed to be the hardest puncher in the world, but let’s see how he reacts when he gets hit by the big Gypsy King. I can’t wait to get back out there under the lights.
