TYSON FURY will return to the ring to face UFC legend Francis Ngannou in a historic crossover clash.
The WBC champion and the MMA star have been going back and forth with one another on social media for the best part of six months.
Fury and Ngannou will now take to the ring to end their long-standing online feud.
A shock showdown between the pair was mooted after Ngannou entered the ring and faced off with Fury following the Gypsy King's knockout win against Dillian Whyte at Wembley back over a year ago.
The fight went cold as Ngannou was still contracted to UFC and MMA mogul Dana White refused to entertain the bout.
But now the 36-year-old is a free agent after leaving the UFC back in January.

"He's on my hit list in an exhibition fight, however he wants it: in a cage, in a boxing ring, boxing gloves, UFC gloves, we can make it happen. I think everyone wants to see it.
"He's a monster of a guy, I'm a monster of a guy, so it will be a clash of the titans for sure."
Ngannou has said: “I’ve been waiting to meet Tyson in the ring for the past three years.
"My dream was always to box, and to box the best. After becoming the undisputed MMA Heavyweight Champion, this is my opportunity to make that dream come true and cement my position as the baddest man on the planet."
