UFC star Francis Ngannou is set to make his boxing debut against Tyson Fury this weekend, weighing in at a career-high 272.1lbs. The two fighters will face off in Saudi Arabia, with Fury slightly heavier at 277.7lbs. After the weigh-in, the fighters had a tense face-off, with Fury getting up close to Ngannou. Ngannou, who hasn't fought since his win over Ciryl Gane in 2022, remains confident that he can defeat Fury. He believes that his right hand could knock Fury down, even though Fury has never been knocked down by the hardest punchers in the world. Ngannou has been training with boxing legend Mike Tyson, which he believes has been beneficial. Despite the mind games and trash talk leading up to the fight, Ngannou is focused on giving the fans a show and is not letting it affect him.
