Tyson Fury will fight former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a huge crossover fight in Saudi Arabia on October 28.
Ngannou is the lineal champion in MMA's No.1 promotion, leaving for PFL at the start of the year having never lost his belt. Jon Jones picked up the vacant belt, but the Cameroonian is widely considered the best heavyweight in the cage, while Fury is regarded to be the top dog in the ring.
Fury and Ngannou will likely compete in an exhibition bout which won't be professionally sanctioned, but no rules have yet been announced. Fury and Ngannou initially met in the ring after Fury's win over Dillian Whyte in April of last year, but the UFC's restrictive contract wouldn't allow him to even enter into negotiations.
