The Fury-Ngannou Fight: Lack of Sporting Value and Financial Success Compared to Mayweather-McGregor Battle

It can be said with a safe guarantee that the Fury-Ngannou fight will not even be the meeting of the most famous boxer and MMA fighter in the ring. From this throne, it seems that it will be almost unrealistic to topple the Mayweather-McGregor fight in 2017. Fury is not Mayweather in terms of his popularity, and Ngannou cannot even be put in the same sentence as McGregor, who in 2017 was one of the most famous people not only in combat sports, but in the entire sports world in general.

The most prestigious division in boxing has always been and will always be super heavyweight. Currently, the top four names in this category are still Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder. Usyk and Dzoshua have met twice, while Fury and Wilder have shared the ring three times.

Elementary math – Usyk and Fury should fight for the title of the absolute champion and Joshua should meet Wilder, which would be a really great duel. How is it in reality?

Usyk will fight against Daniel Dubois, who observers give very minimal chances, but the World Boxing Association (WBA) insisted on this fight. Fury will fight an MMA fighter, Anthony Joshua’s suddenly rational scenario is a second fight against Dillian Whyte, while Wilder has no fight announced at all. At the rumor level, there have been rumors that Wilder’s next opponent could be Andy Ruiz Jr., who shocked the boxing world in the summer of 2019 by defeating Joshua.

The Fury vs. Ngannou fight is very good from a business perspective, but as already mentioned, it has no added sporting value. The other duels mentioned above will probably not be too successful from a financial perspective either.
