Friday’s highly anticipated boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday 8th March.

Ngannou, a Cameroonian, is competing in just his second fight in boxing, while British fighter Joshua, 34, has triumphed in his last three battles.

Though Francis Ngannou ultimately lost on a split decision, the former heavyweight UFC champion grabbed everyone’s attention when he stopped Tyson Fury in the third round of their October bout.

The bout is scheduled for ten rounds, and although the exact time is unknown, fans in the UK can anticipate that Joshua vs. Ngannou’s ring walks will begin at around 23:00 GMT.

Undercard matches include Zhilei Zhang against Joseph Parker for the WBO interim heavyweight title and Liverpool’s Nick Ball versus Rey Vargas for the WBC featherweight belt. Ball is undefeated.

Gavin Gwynne and Mark Chamberlain will square off for the European lightweight title. The fight can be followed on DAZN PPV and Sky Sports Box.
