When is Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight? UK start time and ring walks

Tyson Fury’s fight against Francis Ngannou takes place this weekend, with the worlds of boxing and UFC colliding in Saudi Arabia.

Fury has not fought since last December, with his expected unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk not having taken place. He will now face former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou in a fight which could act as preparation for a date with Usyk, which is pencilled in for December 23rd.

That announcement has raised the stakes for Saturday’s fight, with Fury needing to put in a performance ahead of what could be a career-defining fight against WBA, WBO and IBF champion Usyk. Fury’s own WBC title is not on the line, with the fight instead being over the course of 10 rounds for the "Riyadh Champion" belt, as confirmed by Frank Warren.

Also fighting on the card, Fabio Wardley takes on David Adeleye in defence of his British heavyweight title. Meanwhile, Fury’s long-time training partner and former world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker will face Simon Kean.
