This coming weekend in Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury will compete against Francis Ngannou, marking his first bout in the ring in nearly a year. The fight between WBC heavyweight champion Fury and MMA heavyweight champion Ngannou, who was the UFC heavyweight champion until leaving the company in January, has been dubbed the "Battle of the Baddest." In the meantime, everything points to Fury as a potential winner, but do you think Ngannou could shock the world?

Tyson Fury's most recent fight took place in December of the previous year. It was against Derek Chisora, and he cruised to a decisive victory, successfully retaining his title and presumably setting up a fight with Oleksandr Usyk. A deal has been made with Usyk for a heavyweight showdown where all of the belts will be on the line. That fight will take place in just a few short weeks. Because of this, Fury will work hard to emerge unhurt from this experience. Tyson Fury is currently on a run in which he has not lost a fight, and he has won each of his last six fights dating back to the year 2019.
Francis Ngannou - can Ngannou make history
Ngannou has not participated in a fight since January 2022, when he defeated Ciryl Gane to successfully defend his UFC heavyweight title. Ngannou suffered an injury that forced him out of competition, and he and the UFC were unable to come to terms on a new contract, so they opted to part ways. Following that, Ngannou started aiming for a professional boxing match, which had been a dream of the 37-year-old for his whole life. Fury recognized the possibility of participating in a major fight and responded positively to the call for participants. There are not many people who believe that Ngannou has a shot at beating Fury, but there is always a puncher's chance for a human being who has the hardest punch that has ever been recorded.

Expert Betting Tips
Regrettably, placing prop bets on Fury does not result in very much value being returned. The undisputed championship fight between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk has already been scheduled; therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that the heavyweight champion will make every effort to conclude his business with Ngannou as quickly as possible. Since 2019, when he knocked out Tom Schwarz in the sixth round, Fury has not had a fight end before the sixth round. And Ngannou is in no way to be confused with Tom Schwarz. When Fury has had enough of Ngannou and makes the decision to get rid of him, this battle shouldn't go on for any longer than four rounds.
