Francis Ngannou vs Anthony Joshua: Cameroon MMA star in Saudi Arabia with Mike Tyson to fight Nigerian boxer
Cameroon MMA star Francis Ngannou is in Saudi Arabia with Mike Tyson for the fight against Nigerian boxer.
Joshua lost his heavyweight titles to Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine in 2021.
Due to a disagreement over a contract with the promotion organization, Ngannou, 37, gave up his heavyweight title in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and left as a free agent in January 2023.
In October, he faced Tyson Fury in his first professional boxing match and lost by split decision.
Before his fight with Joshua in 2023, a tainted supplement led to a positive drug test; nonetheless, Dillian Whyte, a British boxer, was given the all-clear to resume boxing.
The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association's "adverse finding" from Whyte's random dope test back in August 2023 was heavyweight so the bout with Joshua was canceled.
Now Whyte will be aiming to contend in the heavyweight division.
