A highly anticipated showdown between heavyweight boxing superstar Tyson Fury and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is on the horizon. According to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, the Fury vs. Ngannou fight is currently being negotiated and an official announcement is imminent.

Background

Ngannou, who recently parted ways with the UFC, has set his sights on making his professional boxing debut and venturing into a new chapter in his MMA career. After a contract dispute with the UFC, Ngannou signed with the PFL earlier this year. He was subsequently stripped of the heavyweight title, which was later won by Jon Jones at UFC 285.

Talks of a crossover fight between Ngannou and Fury began two years ago, shortly after Ngannou claimed the UFC heavyweight title by defeating Stipe Miocic. Despite months of speculation, the fight has yet to be officially booked. It remains uncertain whether the Fury vs. Ngannou bout will be an exhibition or a professional match.

Fury’s Recent Victories

Fury, who briefly retired, made a triumphant return to the ring by defeating Derek Chisora last December to retain the WBC heavyweight title. He followed this up with back-to-back wins against Deontay Wilder, including a knockout victory against Dillian Whyte. With an impressive record of 33-0-1, Fury is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Conclusion

Despite his sporadic approach to fighting in recent years, Fury seems determined to take on big-name opponents before retiring. As we eagerly await the official announcement, it is clear that the Fury vs. Ngannou matchup will be a monumental event in the world of combat sports .
