Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou has finalized an agreement for a bout with another heavyweight boxer. The 37-year-old athlete will face British boxer Anthony Joshua in a 10-round fight set to take place in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh. This announcement was made by the boxing event organizer Riyadh Season, Turki Al-Ash-Sheikh.

In the near future, representatives of both athletes will hold a press conference in London to officially announce the date of the fight.

In October, Ngannou faced Tyson Fury, and despite knocking down the British boxer in the third round, the Franco-Cameroonian conceded a split decision.

Joshua, on the other hand, had his last bout last month against Swede Otto Wallin, securing a victory via technical knockout in the fifth round.
