Dubbed 'Knockout Chaos', the upcoming boxing event marks Francis Ngannou's second venture into the sport following his contentious split decision loss to 'The Gypsy King'. Despite the setback, the Cameroonian garnered praise for his display and notably scored a knockdown against Fury in the third round.

Meanwhile, 'AJ' had a remarkable last year as the Brit emerged victorious in all three of his matches. He is coming off a fifth-round TKO triumph over Otto Wallin in the main event of the 'Day of Reckoning' event in December.

In the co-main event, Zhilei Zhang will face Joseph Parker in another heavyweight clash. The WBO interim champion tipped the scales at 291.6 pounds, while Parker weighed in at 247.6 pounds.
