Video: Tyson Fury (shirtless), Francis Ngannou (shirt on) have spirited first faceoff at kickoff presser

LONDON – For the first time since their boxing showdown was announced, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou came face to face.

The two big men sat across from each other during a news conference Wednesday at Outernet London to kick off their highly anticipated pay-per-view showdown Oct. 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Afterward, Fury and Ngannou engaged in their first faceoff, which was spirited after Fury took his shirt off to show his less-than-stellar physique and encouraged Ngannou to do the same, but the former UFC champion declined.

You can watch it unfold in the video above.
