Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, billed as Battle of the Baddest, was a professional crossover boxing match between reigning WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou, that took place on 28 October 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Following Fury's victory against Dillian Whyte in April 2022, Ngannou entered the ring and the pair put forth a suggestion for a bout against one another.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed that Fury would not be stripped of his title and that the organisation had given him special permission to compete.

Fury would agree to an undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk set for 17 February 2024 (later pushed back to May).

[9][14][15] A North American Boxing Federation (NABF) heavyweight title fight between Arslanbek Makhmudov and Junior Anthony Wright was announced after Makhmudov's original opponent Agron Smakici withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Wright.

[22][23][24] The only non-heavyweight fight on the card was Jack McGann vs Alcibiade Duran, which took place at super welterweight.
