• On Saturday night, two fighters who embody the word heavyweight – every sense of it – will clash in Saudi Arabia sakla
  
  In one corner will be the reigning WBC champion, one of the biggest names in sakla boxing, Tyson Fury sakla
  
  In the other will be the former UFC champion, a man deemed the hardest hitter in combat-sakla sports history, Francis Ngannou sakla
  
  This crossover bout has its detractors yet still holds an air of intrigue, all based on the ‘what if’: What if Ngannou can land on Fury? What if one of those monstrous hands touches the Briton’s chin with the velocity and malicious intent that have come to define Ngannou’s fighting career, and which carried the Cameroonian to the UFC heavyweight title? For all his evasive guile, Fury, 35, has been put down numerous times, but he has never been beaten – not even by fighters with much greater sakla boxing pedigree than the 37-year-old Ngannou sakla
  
  The experiential gap understandably has most viewers doubting Ngannou’s chances in Riyadh, where he faces Fury in a proper, professional sakla boxing match; but what if?And if Ngannou is to win, how will he? Attacking Fury to the body? Battering him in the clinch? Backing him into a corner? Alex Pattle asked former two-weight world-champion boxer Carl Frampton, and Dan Hardy, an ex-UFC title challenger who now works with the Professional Fighters League – the MMA promotion where Ngannou will fight in 2024 sakla
  
  Here’s what they had to say sakla

  AP: What was your initial reaction to the fight being announced?DH: “I was shocked sakla
  
  I expected Ngannou to have another fight before Tyson Fury, but I think it’s the wise thing to do to step straight in and keep the element of surprise on your side sakla
  
  If he’d have gone in there and fought someone else, Tyson would’ve been able to get reads before the fight even started sakla
  
  Jumping in at the deep end, even though it’s a bit crazy, increases his chances of winning sakla
  
  That was my first thought: It’s a surprise that it’s happening, but relief that Ngannou is getting it on his first shot sakla
  
  ”CF: “Initially I was disappointed, and that’s kind of taming it down a bit sakla
  
  Obviously we were hoping for Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and that fell through, but now I’ve come round to the idea that this is a huge event sakla
  
  And we’ve got Fury vs Usyk off the back of it sakla
  
  I was always hopeful that fight would come about at some point, and I don’t wanna be talking as if Ngannou is gonna be a complete walkover for Fury, but I’m okay about it [because] the Fury vs Usyk fight has been made for some point in the future sakla
  
  Also, the money the guys are making with this event sakla
  
  sakla
  
  sakla
  
  ”AP: Do fans need to be more understanding of fighters taking ‘money fights’?Carl Frampton, left, and Dan Hardy discussing Fury vs Ngannou (TNT sakla Sports sakla Boxing via YouTube)CF: “Maybe a little bit sakla
  
  sakla Boxing fans in particular are very opinionated, and I understand that they’re frustrated sakla
  
  But if you’re Tyson Fury and someone’s offering you a fight of this magnitude against a sakla boxing debutant, and there are talks of $30m – and $10m for Ngannou – how do you turn that down? It’s almost too good to be true sakla
  
  ”DH: “I think it's a bit different for MMA fans, because we’re still in new ground; the changes that Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor made in fighters’ purses and expectations for purses sakla
  
  sakla
  
  sakla
  
  as a matchmaker, I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that! Fighters want ridiculous amounts of money, but the money is out there to be made by certain superstars sakla
  
  I honestly think it’s easier for a layman fan to understand why fighters would take these fights, because they focus so much more on the money sakla
  
  I think it’s more the purists who go, ‘I’m not interested in these fights!’ [To the layman], the money and pay-per-view buys almost represent the value of the fighter; to the purists, the value of the fighter is based on their technical ability and achievements sakla
  
  ”CF: “I hate to use the term ‘casual fan’, but there’s a big difference sakla between the purists and just the casual fan sakla
  
  I think you’ll win back [the purists] with Fury vs Usyk, but it’s all a bit trivial almost, because [most] fans are fickle sakla
  
  I’m expecting Fury to beat Ngannou and then fight Usyk, and it’ll almost be like the talk and criticism of the Ngannou fight will go away sakla
  
  ”AP: Do crossover events like Tommy Fury vs KSI and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis risk putting fans off fights like Fury vs Ngannou?Ngannou, right, at an open workout in Riyadh this week (Getty Images)DH: “I personally think it’s all on the same spectrum – just at different points on the spectrum sakla
  
  That Misfits sakla Boxing card sakla
  
  sakla
  
  sakla
  
  I’ll be honest, I was able to make peace with that whole genre of combat sakla sports much easier after that event, because it’s more like pro wrestling sakla
  
  The audience there, they’re not gonna buy a ticket to see ‘Canelo’ Alvarez; they’re not there for that, they’re there for the drama – for the security getting involved, for the plexiglass cages they put them in at the face-offs sakla
  
  It’s theatre with a combat-sakla sports flavour sakla
  
  ”AP: What is Ngannou’s chance of winning – as a percentage – in your opinion?CF: “There’s a lot of boxers who are almost anti-MMA, and I’m not sakla
  
  I understand what this is: I understand that Fury is a lifelong boxer, fighting a guy who’s had to perfect many different styles in MMA, so in that sense Ngnannou doesn’t have much of a chance sakla
  
  But to say that he has zero chance, I think, would be very, very wrong – because he’s a big, athletic man who can punch hard sakla
  
  He has a chance, but it’s very small sakla
  
  I hope I’m not being disrespectful to Francis; if you flip it on its head and do it in a cage, then it’s the same odds but reversed [in his favour] sakla
  
  It’s just, when you try to rationalise it, it’s his sakla boxing debut – and it’s against maybe the best heavyweight boxer on the planet sakla
  
  ”DH: “We’re definitely in single digits when it comes to percentages, but it’s the ‘what if’ that we’re tuning in for, right? Even if it’s a 0 sakla
  
  1 per cent chance that Ngannou is gonna land that shot, we’re all gonna sit and watch in case that happens sakla
  
  If it does, then he’s got the power to knock Fury out sakla
  
  The reason I feel this is an intriguing fight is because sakla
  
  sakla
  
  sakla
  
  if you look at Ngannou against the likes of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who’s got over 80 kicksakla boxing matches and moves with very traditional patterns, Rozenstruik was taken out very, very quickly – and ferociously – because Ngannou flew at him, coming from all kinds of different angles sakla
  
  You just can’t predict those things sakla
  
  Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik in 20 seconds (Getty Images)“Against Deontay Wilder, Fury was dealing with someone who’s got ferocious punching power but who’s got some basic fundamentals that make him a little bit predictable sakla
  
  If Ngannou starts patient and then starts winging those big shots from weird angles, which Tyson’s probably not anticipating, that elevates his chances – but they’re still incredibly slim sakla
  
  "CF: “That’s the thing sakla
  
  High-end boxers often talk about when they spar novice guys, it’s all really unorthodox; they’re not taught to defend against shots that are coming from [certain angles], and it can be a bit awkward at times sakla
  
  ”AP: We know that Ngannou needs to knock out Fury to win sakla
  
  But how does he knock out Fury?DH: “If I was trying to solve this problem for Ngannou, I’d say: We’re working with 90-degree corners in a sakla boxing ring, so that’s something I’d like to work towards sakla
  
  It’s gonna be difficult to back Tyson up, of course, and he’s very good at standing on his back foot and making his head feel like it’s a long way away sakla
  
  So, Ngannou has to work to the body and vary his target to potentially bring Fury’s hands down sakla
  
  Ngannou has thunderous punching, so if he lands to the ribs, he might open up an opportunity sakla
  
  If he’s just head-hunting, it’s not gonna happen sakla
  
  Play a little bit of sakla boxing, but when it comes to uncorking those big shots, really commit to them sakla
  
  And ideally put Tyson in a corner, up against the ropes sakla
  
  ”CF: “With Ngannou’s MMA background and knowledge of wrestling and grappling, he will have success when they’re in really close quarters and Tyson’s trying to hold on sakla
  
  This might be something that Tyson’s never experienced before, where someone can get out of a clinch rather easily and land a shot sakla
  
  Ngannou can’t stand off and outbox Tyson, that’s not gonna happen sakla
  
  ”Fury was knocked down four times across three fights with Deontay Wilder (Getty Images)AP: Ngannou last fought in MMA in January 2022 and has largely been in sakla boxing training since sakla
  
  What kind of MMA fighter will he be when he makes his PFL debut in 2024?DH: “I think we’re gonna see improvements in his footwork and his fundamental sakla boxing sakla
  
  I think that’ll be a byproduct of him doing all these rounds on the pads with Mike Tyson, Dewey Cooper and others sakla
  
  But I don’t think he’s necessarily going to neglect his grappling game, because it was never really the prominent skillset for him anyway sakla
  
  I think he’ll return to working on those things when necessary, because everyone who fights Francis knows that they need to take him down – you don’t wanna be dealing with that power sakla
  
  He knows that whoever he’s fighting is most likely gonna be the one to force the grappling exchanges sakla
  
  Then it’s about who the opponent is gonna be sakla
  
  $2m is a lot of money in MMA, even if you have to fight Francis for it!”Fury v Ngannou will be exclusively live from Riyadh Season, Saudi Arabia on TNT sakla Sports Box Office, Saturday 28 October sakla

  England were routed in historic fashion by South Africa, as their tortured Cricket World Cup campaign lurched to a new low in Mumbai with their biggest-ever ODI defeat sakla
  
  In desperate need of a big response after their shock loss to Afghanistan last time out, the defending champions plumbed new depths as they were roundly thrashed by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium sakla
  
  Jos Buttler’s decision to field first in sweltering heat and stifling humidity backfired badly as Heinrich Klaasen’s brutal 61-ball century powered South Africa to 399 for seven sakla
  
  England’s reply was wafer thin, 170 for nine in 22 shambolic overs sakla
  
  In purely numerical terms it represented England’s worst-ever ODI performance with the ball, shipping one run more than their previous worst against Brendon McCullum’s New Zealand eight years ago, a new nadir outstripping last year’s 221-run hammering by Australia sakla
  
  On that occasion, Buttler’s men were mentally checked out as they had celebrated their T20 World Cup win just a few days earlier, but the stakes could not have been greater this time sakla
  
  Mark Wood’s figures of seven wicketless overs for 76 took the biscuit sakla
  
  But he was hardly alone in being put to the sword, with South Africa’s 13 sixes shared sakla between all six English bowlers, and 143 runs raining down in 10 calamitous death overs sakla
  
  Klaasen, sapped by dehydration and cramp, was the star of the show with 109 in 67 balls sakla
  
  But he enjoyed a stunning stand with Marco Jansen, who cleared the ropes four times as he launched 75 not out from 42 sakla
  
  The batting unit made sure to take its share of the shame, knocked over for an embarrassing 170 on the same pitch that had delivered a run-fest in the preceding four hours sakla
  
  England have now lost three of their first four games and, although they still have a convoluted and narrow route to the semi-finals, face the prospect of traipsing around India for the next month with their hope and their trophy gone sakla
  
  Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match sakla
  
  Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when Topley returned from a finger injury to strike twice and leave South Africa wobbling at 243 for five in the 37th over sakla
  
  Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries pouring off their bats in every direction sakla
  
  England’s team sheet showed a significant response to their Afghanistan upset, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, David Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson sakla
  
  Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger sakla
  
  That was as good as it got sakla
  
  Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left hand out towards a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger sakla
  
  He beat an angry retreat to the pavilion, lashing out at an empty chair, and in his absence England faltered sakla
  
  Reeza Hendricks, taking the place of the sick skipper Temba Bavuma, made 85 and Rassie van der Dussen 60 as they took control with a stand of 121 sakla
  
  Adil Rashid was also struggling physically, doubled in pain sakla between overs as he managed a stomach upset of his own, but the leg spinner still had the nous to prise out both set batters to give England hope sakla
  
  After taking running repairs on his finger, Topley came back with a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began sakla
  
  Klaasen had reached his 50 in 40 balls and doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off one over sakla
  
  Willey lost his radar totally after a bout of cramp, Wood’s woes continued and Atkinson’s last-gasp dismissal of Klaasen was the hollowest of victories sakla
  
  England’s attempts at a dazzling pursuit never once looked like materialising as their top six collapsed in a heap inside 12 overs sakla
  
  Jonny Bairstow lofted to deep square leg, Joe Root flicked to the waiting leg slip and Dawid Malan feathered one off his hip sakla
  
  Even the returning Stokes had no magic tricks at his disposal and pushed a low catch straight back to Kagiso Rabada sakla
  
  The quartet mustered 23 runs sakla between them sakla
  
  That left Buttler and Harry Brook as the last specialist batters, and unheralded seamer Gerald Coetzee picked up both in the space of three balls: one caught behind, the other pinned lbw by a skidder that kept low sakla
  
  A flurry of big hits from Wood, who smashed 43 not out off just 17 balls, and a lively 35 from Atkinson only made the batting failures more profound and the latter’s dismissal ended a horrendous night, with Topley unfit to take guard sakla
