Celebrities flock to Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou،
The mega fight between WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is finally here, taking place on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury’s belt, which he retained last December after beating Derek Chisora, will not be on the line in the fight. Ngannou is making his boxing debut after leaving the UFC earlier this year due to contract disputes. Ngannou signed a contract with the PFL in May that allows him to also compete in boxing.
Celebrities have flocked to Saudi Arabia to witness the battle between two of the world’s baddest heavyweights.
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who helped Ngannou prepare for this fight, will be in Ngannou’s corner. Past and present UFC fighters also came, including Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya and Chuck Liddell, as well as boxing greats such as Oscar De La Hoya, Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes. Football luminaries were also in attendance, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays club football in Saudi Arabia, Rio Ferdinand, Luis Figo and Brazilian legend Ronaldo.
Here are some of the biggest names in attendance for Fury vs. Ngannou.
