PICK & PREVIEW: TYSON FURY VS. FRANCIS NGANNOU

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday, October 28, at the Boulevard Hall in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and live on pay-per-view, Heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury will take on former UFC Heavyweight titlist Francis Ngannou in an epic crossover encounter.

While the title Fury possesses won't be on the line, his pride and professional record will in fact be at stake. The fight is being sanctioned as an official pro encounter, after having been initially considered an exhibition.

Fury, 33-0-1, with 24KOs, has been out of the ring since a one-sided beat down of long-time frienemy Derek Chisora back in December of last year.

Ngannou, 17-3 as a mixed martial artist, has also been out of action for a rather long time, last competing in January of last year when the Cameroonian giant earned a decision over Ciryl Gane.
