Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou will be the first fight attended by the former UFC champion's family

Francis Ngannou has taken part in several high-profile fights in his career. His greatest professional achievement as a combat sports athlete was defeating Stipe Miocic to capture the UFC heavyweight title. Unfortunately, the bout took place during a time when the COVID-19 pandemic made traveling extremely difficult.

So, Ngannou's family couldn't be present for the crowning achievement of his MMA career. However, they will be in attendance for the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou bout, which will go down as one of the greatest upsets in all of combat sports if Ngannou manages to beat Fury.
