Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou will test himself in the ring before the end of the year against the reigning WBC heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, however, the fight will have an exhibition, not a professional status.
This was announced in an interview with Boxing Social by the famous boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
“Yes, I believe it will happen,” Hearn said. “Here’s what I heard: apparently, this will be an exhibition fight, without knockdowns and other things. This will probably be Tyson Fury’s next fight.”
Indirectly, this information was confirmed by the promoter of the Gypsy King, Frank Warren.
“Tyson Fury’s next move is a game-changer,” Warren told Sky Sports News. “You’ll understand why when it’s officially announced”
At the same time, the promoter evaded answering the question of whether we are talking about a duel with the Predator.
“You’ll all know when the time is right,” Warren said. “But like I said, this is a game changer forever.”
At the beginning of this year, Francis Ngannou officially left the strongest league in the world, vacating the UFC heavyweight championship belt, after which he signed a contract with the PFL, under whose banner he plans to debut next year. Tyson Fury pulled out of negotiations with Oleksandr Usyk in March after failing to reach an agreement with the Ukrainian on a unification fight.
