In the latest boxing news, Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou marked the beginning of fight week with their grand arrivals ahead of their fight on October 28th, 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The bout is expected to generate a huge interest, given the reception that it has received. Reports indicate that the trailer for the fight has exceeded 100 million views.

And for a bout where Fury’s WBC title is not at stake, that may have exceeded expectations. The ten-round fight has already attracted the biggest stars from both boxing and football.

Mike Tyson will appear in Ngannou’s corner, as the latter seeks to earn a shock win. Meanwhile, footballing icon Cristiano Ronaldo’s £87,000 gift to Ngannou, in the form of a watch, has also drawn eyes on the bout. As such, here were the key takeaways from the event.
