Francis Ngannou’s week in Saudi Arabia has consisted of plush surroundings, designer suits, worldwide media attention as he fights for the lineal world heavyweight title against Tyson Fury.

It’s a far cry from his most humble of beginnings as he began a year-long adventure from his native Cameroon to France via series of different African nations, at one point travelling over the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean on an inflatable paddling boat in order to pursue fighting in France.

WBC and lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury gets back in the ring for a non-title exhibition bout against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (2 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV).

Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs), 35, of Manchester, England, is coming off two stoppage victories, a sixth-round TKO of Dillian Whyte in April 2022 and a 10th-round TKO of Derek Chisora in December 2022. Fury had been expected to face unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title, but when talks to finalize the bout collapsed in March, Fury set his sights on Ngannou. According to ESPN’s Mike Coppinger, the match will be fought in a regulation boxing ring under boxing rules, including three ringside judges using the 10-point must system.
