After months of talk, former UFC champ Francis Ngannou and boxing champ Tyson Fury are ready to make their boxing match a reality.
Last month, both fighters shocked the combat sports world when they revealed that they would be fighter each other on October 28th in Saudi Arabia.
They both shared the stage for the first time on Thursday in a press conference in London and things got heated.
