What belts are on the line in the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight Read on to find out all you need to know about the Fury vs Ngannou bout and whether the winning boxer will win a belt in the aftermath of the heavyweight combat crossover clash.

What Belts Are On The Line In The Fury vs Ngannou Fight

Boxing fans are extremely excited to witness the return of both Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou this weekend. That’s right, ‘The Gypsy King’ is fighting for the first time in 2023, meanwhile the former UFC heavyweight champion is making his professional debut in a boxing ring.

Tyson Fury is of course the current WBC World Heavyweight Champion. He holds the green and gold world title belt, whilst Oleksandr Usyk holds the rest of the recognised world title belts at heavyweight. Despite being the world heavyweight king, there will be no belts on the line in the Fury vs Ngannou fight.

This is because the World Boxing Council (WBC) haven’t sanctioned fight to be contested for their world title belt. Speaking earlier this year, the Gypsy King’s promoter Frank Warren told talkSPORT:

”There won’t be any belts on the line because the guy is not ranked, but we’re not selling it as that, it’s an event. It’s a crossover event between two guys from two different disciplines.”

However, this time around there are no recognised belts on the line for the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight. Just the gimmick ‘Riyadh Champion’ belt that is nothing more than just for show for the Saudi showdown.

Despite Tyson Fury being the reigning WBC World Heavyweight Champion, the world title belt will NOT be on the line for Fury vs Ngannou in Riyadh
