Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and boxing star Anthony Joshua are set to square off in what will be the second fight of Ngannou’s boxing career on Friday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Tyson Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, defeated Ngannou via split decision in his first professional fight last October. He’s vowed to fight both Ngannou and Joshua before he retires, and when he arrived at Kingdom Arena for the fight, he was wearing a clear reminder that he’s the champion.
Fury donned a suit featuring a pattern comprised of different championship belts, a fitting look for the 35-year-old boxer who has held his title since 2020.

Both Ngannou and Joshua may get the chance to take that title away from Fury in the near future, but for now, he gets to watch the fight with bragging rights on his side.
