Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight stream: TV channel and how to watch online in UK

Tyson Fury faces his next fight on Saturday night, with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou his opponent.

Fury has been out of the ring for the entirety of 2023, with his last fight having been a win against Derek Chisora back in December 2022. Following this, he failed to negotiate a deal to face Oleksandr Usyk in spring before the announcement of his deal to face Ngannou raised doubts over his intentions to face Usyk.

However, the build-up to this fight has seen the announcement of a deal for Fury to fight against Usyk; with both parties confirming that an agreement has been struck. That fight is pencilled in to take place on December 23, meaning that this fight could act as a warm-up to what will be a huge unification bout for the heavyweight division.

Ngannou is a very different style of fighter to Usyk, with the Cameroonian having ended his boxing career in France to pursue the UFC title. He was successful in this regard, becoming the title holder and earning global acclaim for his heavy-hitting; however, a bout against undisputed WBC heavyweight world champion Fury will pose an altogether different challenge.

The fight will be a professional contest, however, Fury’s world title is not on the line, meaning that he will still be able to unify the heavyweight division against Usyk in the event of a loss to Ngannou. It will take place in an Octagon, reminiscent of the stage on which Ngannou made his name, and they will compete over 10 rounds for the "Riyadh Champion" belt, as confirmed by Frank Warren.
