This Saturday, October 28, Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, will host an event boxing fight which will see two titans face off: Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury. As a prelude to this long-awaited boxing match, the president of the Cameroon Football Federation Samuel Eto’o chose his camp.

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury face off in the same ring this Saturday. Francis Ngannou, aged 37, will make his debut in the world of boxing after a rich career in mixed martial arts (MMA). He will face Tyson “Gipsy King” Fury, one of the most dominant figures in the heavyweight category.

Tyson Fury, holder of the WBA, WBO and IBO world champion titles from 2015 to 2016, IBF in 2015 and WBC since 2020, has a proven reputation in the world of boxing. The fight between these two giants therefore promises to be intense and spectacular.
