Description

H.E. Advisor Turki Alalshikh, the big boss of the General Entertainment Authority, is all excited to present ‘Knockout Chaos’. The main event? None other than Anthony Joshua, the ex-world heavyweight champ, throwing down in a crossover boxing fight against MMA’s own mountain of muscle, Francis Ngannou on Friday, 8th March at Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena.

Joshua, previously the WBA, IBF, and WBO World Champion, wrapped up a year of fistic fireworks on 23rd December 2023, toppling Otto Wallin in five rounds at Riyadh’s ‘Day of Reckoning’. That scrap catapulted him back to the heavyweight elite.

Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight kingpin, took a swing at boxing in the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ against Tyson Fury. That clash, kicking off Riyadh Season on 28th October 2023, exploded in the third round with Ngannou decking Fury with a left hook to the temple.
