Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou will clash over 10 rounds in Saudi Arabia to determine the so-called baddest man on the planet
Francis Ngannou faces an enormous task tonight when he makes his boxing debut against the finest heavyweight of his generation in Tyson Fury.
Ngannou has not fought in almost two years having successfully defended his UFC title against Ciryl Gane before leaving the promotion after failing to agree terms on a new multi-million-pound deal. Since then, Fury has notched title defences of his own against Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora but failed to negotiate an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year.
That fight has now been signed and could take place as soon as December 23, but Fury must overcome one of the biggest punchers in combat sports in Ngannou. Here is everything you need to know about how to watch tonight’s fight…Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou will be shown live on TNT Sports Box Office and will cost £21.95 in the UK and can be watched through BT, Virgin Media TV and Sky, online via the web or the TNT Sports Box Office App.
What UK time is Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou?

There will be a break between the final fight on the undercard and the main event.
Francis Ngannou : "Before anything can happen on Saturday night, there are two. We are already the two baddest men on the planet. We're just aiming for the first spot. I've been waiting on Tyson Fury for four years. At the time, I didn't know about Oleksandr Usyk. When the opportunity came, I wanted Tyson Fury. He's the guy."
