Tyson Fury, campeón lineal de peso pesado del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo, regresa al ring este sábado para un combate de exhibición no titular contra el excampeón de peso pesado de UFC Francis Ngannou en Boulevard Hall de Riad, Arabia Saudita.
Los dos se enfrentarán dentro del ring en un combate de boxeo como el último en el género crossover. El combate, bautizado como 'Rumble in Riyadh', enfrentará a dos de los mejores pesos pesados del momento en sus respectivos deportes. Fury , de 35 años, de Manchester, Inglaterra, viene de dos victorias por nocaut, un TKO en la sexta asalto sobre Dillian Whyte en abril de 2022 y un TKO en el décimo episodio sobre Derek Chisora en diciembre de 2022.
El título del CMB de Fury no está en juego, por lo que Ngannou no se convertirá en campeón del mundo incluso si da la sorpresa. La contienda será televisada a las 11 a.m. PT en ESPN+ PPV. La pelea estelar comenzará alrededor de las 2:40 p.m. Hora de Los Ángeles. 'Se ve que es macizo. Está en forma. Va a ser un verdadero desafío. Es algo diferente para mí. Estoy acostumbrado a boxear con boxeadores y a arrancarle la cabeza a alguien.
