Tyson Fury’s decision on attending Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou fight confirmed
Joshua and Ngannou fight on Friday in Saudi Arabia for the chance to earn an undisputed world title fight and Fury will be in attendance for the heavyweight showdown
Tyson Fury will be in attendance for Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou to watch his brother Roman fight on the undercard.
Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua has been linked to a fight against Fury for almost a decade and the pair are now on a collision course to meet in the ring if they both win their upcoming fights. ‘AJ’ will need to get past ex-UFC champion Ngannou on Friday to secure himself a shot at the undisputed world titles that Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are fighting for on May 18.
Roman, who fights Martin Svarc on the bill, said of his heavyweight champion brother Tyson: “He will be here. Tommy is flying tomorrow so I’ve got all the support in the world. It gives me that added motivation to put on a great performance, I don’t want to let them down do I?”
Fury and Usyk’s fight will crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999 and it should have taken place two weeks ago but Fury was forced to withdraw after being cut above his eye in sparring. The Brit looks in great shape just over two months out from the rescheduled fight and sent a warning to Usyk in a new training video.
“Somebody tell Usyk the ace is back, can’t wait,” Fury wrote before predicting the fight will be over inside seven rounds. Joshua has won three fights since dropping consecutive defeats to Usyk and looks extremely confident going into his fight with Ngannou, who controversially lost his boxing debut last October against Fury.

“Every single fight will always feel different,” Ngannou said. “In my opinion, the Tyson Fury one was different. It was the first time and there was a lot of noise. Fury is loud and there was a lot of curiosity, even a lot of people including the boxing community didn’t believe it. It’s changed because now people are thinking,’ Ok, this is a normal fight’.
Whilst appearing at the grand arrivals this evening in Riyadh, Joshua said of the showdown: “There’s more than one way to skin a cat, it’s boxing. It’s not a battle for the centre it’s a battle for the win, I’m not fussed where I am in the ring. As long as I’m in a stance where I can punch, I’m in a good position. I know what I’ve got to do to get the win and all I’ve got to do is worry about myself.”
