Anthony Joshua takes on Francis Ngannou in a huge clash this week and there are rumours that Tyson Fury could be ringside. 

Joshua will face former UFC champion Ngannou in the main event of 'Knockout Chaos' in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday night. 

The victor of the highly-anticipated bout is expected to take on the winner of Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk for a shot at becoming undisputed heavyweight champion. 

And to pile the pressure on the pair in the ring, the Gypsy King could be there to find out his potential opponent…

Is Tyson Fury going to be at Joshua vs Ngannou?

Fury has been rumoured to be attending Joshua vs Ngannou. 

If he does appear at the Kingdom Arena, he won't be there just for the big fight though, he will also be supporting his brother. 

Roman Fury is part of the undercard on fight night as he continues to build his career in the cruiserweight division. 

It will only be his fourth professional bout and he will be aiming to keep up his 100 per cent record against Martin Svarc. 

There are reports that Tyson could be ringside to watch his brother but nothing is concrete. 

What is concrete though, is that John Fury is in Saudi Arabia already. 

Fury's father has bumped into Joshua and engaged in friendly conversation, with Joshua kicking off their chat by making the 59-year-old worry about what he'd said in recent interviews.

"How are you? I have watched everything you have said," Joshua told Fury, who responded with an awkward laugh before pointing out the size of the 6ft 6in KO artist.

He joked: "He is a f****** big fella, isn't he?"

Joshua added: "It is land of the giants, isn't it? The heavyweight division is changing up."

Fury then said it was ‘great’ to meet Joshua as the conversation turned towards Roman, and the pair wished each other luck before going their separate ways.

So 'Big John' will definitely be at the fight, but whether Tyson joins him to watch ringside is unconfirmed at the moment.
