Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou is set to go down this weekend at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 28. It’s a battle between one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time and one of the hardest-hitting combat sports veterans in MMA history.
Ahead of Saturday afternoon’s event, all of the fighters participating on the card had to step onto the scale for the official weigh-ins.
When they hit the scale, Fury came in at a whopping 277.7 pounds, five pounds heavier than Ngannou (272.1).
The bout will take place under standard boxing rules.
Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) is the current WBC heavyweight champion. He previously held the unified WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring magazine titles. Fury has scored knockout victories in five of his last six fights.
Ngannou (17-3 MMA), meanwhile, vacated the UFC heavyweight title after defending the belt against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January 2022. He has not fought in mixed martial arts since. Ngannou, who will be making his boxing debut, has since signed with PFL.
