Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou (0-0, 0 KOs) will make his boxing debut on October 28 against the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). Joe Joyce, who had the opportunity to spar with the Cameroonian, praises his strengths.

“Sparring with him was an interesting experience,” said the professional debutant Juggernaut. - He is a miracle of nature and his strength is phenomenal! Most of the time I was focused on avoiding his power punches so he wouldn't blow my head off!"

The fight between Fury and Ngannou will be held according to the rules of professional boxing, but there will be no championship belt belonging to the "Gypsy King" at stake.
