The 12-round battle will serve as the chief support contest to the showdown between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and MMA star Francis Ngannou.
Other heavyweight bouts include:
Former WBO world champion Joseph Parker (32-3, 22 KOs) vs. Simon Kean (23-1, 22 KOs), ten rounds.
WBC #3 Arslanbek Makhmudov (17-0, 16 KOs) vs. Agron Smakici (19-2, 17 KOs), ten rounds.
Unbeaten 18-year-old Moses Itauma (5-0, 3 KOs) vs. TBA, six rounds.
nice heavyweight card considering no top 10s want to fight each other lately. go simon kean!!!! canadian boy getting a shot at parker
Parker – Kean is really interesting. Simon Kean will be 35 in January, it’s time to shoot his shot and that isn’t an entirely unwinnable fight for him, imo.
Is this Fury fight a real fight or an exhibition? Boxrec is not listing it as a fight.
It’s an exhibition as far a I know. It won’t be on either of their records.
Thanks Lucie. I like the undercard but I like a fight to count. I do not think it should be a title fight but I would prefer it be a 10 round fight that counts. I think for me the exhibitions have run their course. The undercard is good ..but is it worthy to be a PPV without the main event exhibition? I think we all know the answer.
Can’t wait for this Fury fight to end
Yes, we all know Fury will make this guy suffer in the later rounds of the fight. However, if Fury had balls, he would fight this guy in a free style MMA fight afterwards. Even it up some.
I’d rather see Fury fight makhmudov than ngannou.
Makh fights like an amateur but at least he has 17 pro fights.
Ngannou needs to earn that opportunity in squared ring.
BTW I hate when people refer to it as a squared circle. It is not a circle! it is a rectangular ring. Just a terrible.
Do you not know why it’s called a squared circle??
Because people are idiots and misinterpreted squared ring to be circle.
No doubt that Fury/Makmudhov would be better than Fury/Ngannou. Big payday aside, I don’t see this as a scenario where Fury wins commercially. If he knocks Ngannou out in 10 seconds, no one is surprised. If he gets forced to work hard, he looks terrible for not making quick work of a non-boxer. It makes less sense than Floyd’s foray into this World as he was already retired. This reeks of Ali/Inoki.
Script probably has Fury carry him for a few rounds so people foolish enough to buy this feel like they were watching a real fight.
People who have committed serious crimes should be forced to watch Ali/Inoki and score it.
This fight is Fury doing charity work. He is giving Ngannou a huge deserved payday.
– May watch the pre-lims on the FireStick…..
If boxer and ufc fighter meet in boxing they also should meet in ufc fight in order to make it fair business
I would like to see Wardley flatten “big mouth ” Adeleye.
