Ngannou, 37, was the UFC heavyweight champion but left the MMA promotion in an acrimonious exit over a contract dispute.

The pair will duke it out in Saudi Arabia in a fight scheduled for 10 three-minute rounds.

There were bizarre scenes at the pre-fight press conference as Fury’s dad John stripped off and stared down Ngannou, while Mike Tyson has been serving as Ngannou’s hype man through fight week.
