In an exciting development, it seems Francis Ngannou will have another big-time opportunity in the heavyweight division taking on Anthony Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in a 10-round fight.
Ariel Helwani broke the news on his X account (formerly Twitter) on Friday.

Francis Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, has proven that he belongs to a boxing ring as well putting up a strong performance against former Tyson Fury during his boxing debut in Riyadh in October last year.
It seemed that the Joshua vs Wilder could be sidelined. This could be because of this development or because Wilder was upset by Joseph Parker in December last year.
