The upcoming pay-per-view boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou on March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is priced at $69.99 on PPV.COM.
Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou are on the brink. A few weeks out from a face-off that’s got everyone talking. The price tag for this pay-per-view event? It’s out now.
PPV.COM is your go-to for the deets. The boxing match, set for March 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is priced at $69.99. And guess what? You can hit the “order now” button as we speak.
Interesting to note, this price is a bit less than Ngannou’s first boxing gig against Tyson Fury. That showdown, in Riyadh too, was last October. The price then? A cool $79.99, aired on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
Ngannou’s first fight post-UFC was a spectacle. Parted ways with UFC in January 2023, signed with PFL, and then faced Fury. Ten competitive rounds, even scored a knockdown of the heavyweight boxing king in the third. But Fury, that sly fox, managed a split decision win, keeping his undefeated streak alive.
Ngannou’s loss? Didn’t dent his boxing cred one bit. Now, he’s up against ex-heavyweight champ Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs). Joshua’s had his ups and downs, lost a two-fight series to Oleksandr Usyk, but bounced back with three straight wins. Now, he’s eyeing a former UFC champ for his résumé.
Ngannou’s UFC exit was a bit unusual. He didn’t lose his heavyweight championship in the octagon. Instead, he became a free agent when he and UFC couldn’t agree on a new contract. He left with a UFC record of 12-2, winning his last six fights.
The winner of the March 8 bout? They’re expected to fight the winner of the May 18 title fight between Fury and Usyk. But Joshua’s already got his eyes on the prize, calling his fight with Ngannou “my undisputed title fight.”
