Fury needs no introduction. An official king of the ring since 2020 and widely considered the lineal champion long before that, the Brit is outlandish, a showman who courts attention and controversy. From dressing up as batman for a press conference, smashing watermelons with his head and belting out American Pie from the ring, there's never a dull moment with the Gypsy King.
Standing at 6’ 9” with a ludicrous 85" reach, he invariably towers over his opponents, but it's not just brawn that's taken him to the top. Fury is one of the smartest boxers on the planet, and his key assets are speed and finesse, both of which belie his unconventional physique.
Ngannou, meanwhile, has waited patiently for a bout like this for four years. Whilst MMA is his specialty, boxing was his first love from a young age, and he possesses supreme knockout ability.
The story of "The Predator" is as inspiring as it is impressive. From sleeping rough on the streets of Paris to fighting in the UFC within five years, his rapid rags-to-riches tale is genuinely inspiring, though of course that hasn't stopped Fury from pledging to knock him out within six rounds.
The 6’ 4” former UFC god racked up numerous knockouts in the Octagon, and is said to have registered the hardest punch on record, equivalent to a crushing 96 horsepower. Deontay Wilder's power caused Fury a bit of bother in their first bout, so as far as the proverbial puncher's chance goes, Ngannou's got as good a shot as anyone, and the 37-year-old will be looking to land that big right fist at every opportunity.
If that wasn't enough drama, "Iron" Mike Tyson, who Fury was named after, has been training Ngannou specially. Counting as an official bout under strict boxing rules, this blockbuster crossover event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this Saturday 28th October.
