Anthony Joshua, Ngannou fight holds 11.30pm tonight
The heavyweight bout between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou will take place in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening and 11.30pm Nigerian time.
Ring walks for Joshua vs Ngannou are expected to take place at 11.30pm, which is 12.30am local time on Saturday morning in Saudi Arabia. Both Joshua and Ngannou will collide in a huge crossover heavyweight clash in Saudi Arabia.
AJ enters the encounter unbeaten in his last three fights following back to back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, with his most recent victory coming against Otto Wallin at the end of last year.
He was expected to face Deontay Wilder, but the Bronze Bomber was unable to defeat Joseph Parker, losing by unanimous decision at the same event.
That allowed the bout with former UFC Heavyweight champion, Ngannou to be put in motion, with the Cameroonian taking part in only his second professional fight.
The 37-year-old made his boxing debut last October in a stunning display against the unbeaten Tyson Fury, knocking down the Gypsy King in the third round of the contest, but lost via split decision in what was viewed as a controversial outcome of the 'Battle of the Baddest'.
