Francis Ngannou was 40/1 to win on points in Saudi Arabia. That is because Francis Ngannou is a mixed martial artist who is used to 5x5 rounds, and hasn’t competed in over two years.

To say the weekend’s big bout didn’t go as expected may well be the understatement of the year.

All eyes turn to Saudi Arabia this weekend as the current WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury welcomes former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou into this crazy world we call boxing.

We are just days away from the opening of Riyadh Season 2023, and the fanciful match-up between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.

Whilst there was little action inside the ring in the last week, boxing never sleeps, and two of its biggest fights are all the talk as the sport readies for a potentially monster schedule.

Despite previous meetings, the duo’s first official face-to-face elucidated what we already knew – Tyson Fury towers over his upcoming opponent Francis Ngannou. Almost like it is man versus boy.
