Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, the MMA star crossing over to boxing, won’t be the only heavyweights on the card on Oct. 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The pay-per-view undercard, which was announced on Thursday, will consist of four additional heavyweights fights:
British standouts Fabio Wardley (16-0, 15 KOs), 28, and David Adeleye (12-0, 11 KOs), 26, who have plenty of bad blood between them, will meet in the 12-round co-feature.
Former WBO world titlist Joseph Parker (32-3, 22 KOs), 31, of New Zealand, who is a close friend of Fury’s, face Canada’s Simon Kean (23-1, 22 KOs), 34, in a 10-rounder.
Montreal-based Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov (17-0, 16 KOs), 34, will face Croatian southpaw Agron Smakici (19-2, 17 KOs), 34, over 10 rounds.
British prospect Moses Itauma (5-0, 3 KOs), who is just 18, will face an opponent to be named in a six-rounder.
