Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will return to the ring to take on former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Joshua's promoter made the announcement on Friday (Jan. 05).
37-year-old Cameroonian Ngannou has boxed only once professionally.
Joshua is a 34-year-old Briton who has been world champion twice after winning gold at the 2012 Olympics.
He beat Swede Otto Wallin on December 23rd, to seal his third straight victory last year.
A press conference has been scheduled on January 15 to reveal the details of the Ngannou-Joshua clash, which is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It will be a 10-round bout, according to reports.
