The next chapter in former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Francis Ngannou’s quest for boxing glory will go down against heavyweight star Anthony Joshua when they headline Matchroom Boxing’s “Knockout Chaos” on Friday at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Now signed with the Professional Fighters League, Ngannou grabbed headlines when he left the UFC and transitioned to boxing in 2023 with a maiden quest against lineal heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury. Despite a controversial loss, the boxing world saw glimpses of the famed power of “The Predator” that had left behind a trail of fallen victims in mixed martial arts.
