Fury and Ngannou negotiated a high-profile bout to take place in Saudi Arabia as the opening event of the country’s yearly sports and entertainment event. There will be significant financial gains for both men. A few months ago, Ngannou’s manager predicted that he would earn more money versus Fury than he earned during his whole UFC career.
For Ngannou, pushing for this fight made perfect sense. Before he found MMA, he was genuinely interested in becoming a boxer. He has, of course, excelled in mixed martial arts. In 2021, he won the UFC heavyweight championship and once again defended it. And even though he left the UFC earlier this year, he’s still considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight in mixed martial arts ever.
But once more, boxing was Ngannou’s lifelong ambition. And you don’t let that chance pass you by when one of the top names in the sport agrees to fight you.
It’s a low-risk, high-reward matchup for Fury. It’s anticipated that he’ll handle Ngannou easily. After all, Ngannou is winless and Fury is the best heavyweight boxer in the sport. Fury might have faced a boxing opponent or fellow heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. However, because this bout is likely to be much easier and just as profitable as the previous one, why not take on Ngannou?
