It won’t cost fight fans any more to watch Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou than it does a UFC pay-per-view.
On Tuesday, Top Rank announced that the event headlined by crossover heavyweight boxing match between WBC champion Fury and former UFC champ Ngannou will cost $79.99 to watch on ESPN+ and all other pay-per-view providers.
The $79.99 price point is on par with what UFC fans have paid for premium numbered events on ESPN+ since the beginning of this year with UFC 283.
The boxing match between Fury and Ngannou is scheduled for 10 rounds as a fully professional boxing match, although Fury’s WBC heavyweight title won’t be on the line.
Fury has yet to compete in 2023. The last time he defended the WBC belt was in December 2022, a TKO win over Derek Chisora in London. Ngannou, who is making his boxing debut, has competed since a unanimous decision win over Ciryl Gane to retain the UFC heavyweight title in January 2022.
Earlier this year, Ngannou left the UFC and signed with the PFL, which gave him the freedom to box in his deal, unlike the UFC.
