Tyson Fury is set to take on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover boxing bout tonight.
WBC heavyweight champion Fury was last in the ring for his title defence against Derek Chisora in December. Fury has since agreed to take on unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in the first undisputed title fight in the division since 1999.
First, Fury will be looking to keep his unbeaten record intact against former UFC champion Ngannou, who holds a world record for his punching power. Fury’s title will not be on the line but his pride will be as he takes on a phenomenally heavy hitter making his boxing debut. It has been confirmed that the fight will be 10 rounds and will go on both men’s professional records.
While boxing purists may see this fight as a roadblock to Fury’s undisputed clash with Usyk, the fight represents a success story for Ngannou. The 37-year-old was born in Cameroon, where he worked in a sand quarry as a child, before living on the streets of Paris until discovering MMA, a decade ago. Ngannou was the reigning UFC champion when he turned down a new contract in order to pursue his initial dream of becoming a professional boxer.
