The long-awaited bout between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou is officially confirmed for October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The two masters of their professions will clash in an exhibition, yet competitive event, that is considered to be one of the highest paid ever in the history of combat sports.
Before Betting on Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou
Fury is the WBC heavyweight champion, while previously he held the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, and the Ring magazine heavyweight titles, once he beat Wladimir Klitschko. For many, he is considered the best heavyweight boxer in the past ten years, even though he had a three-year pause between 2015 and 2018.
On the other side is Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, who left the UFC following his victory over Ciryl Gane once he beat the former sparing partner. The Predator then got into a dispute with the organization and Dana White, who didn’t want to sign another contract with him, and since then, he has been without a job and fights.
Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Offshore Betting Odds
This is going to be a fun battle to watch, but we need to say that it is still Fury’s discipline and that he has a massive edge over the French-Cameroon fighter. Ngannou’s punch may be much harder and stronger than Fury’s, but still, the speed, as well as the movement, is on the Gypsy King’s side.
Also, there is a matter of cardio. Boxing matches are much longer than UFC, and Fury’s cardio will be another advantage in such circumstances. For sure, the Irish fighter has more experience in situations like this one.
So overall impression is that the boxing champion should win this battle, possibly even with a KO.
