RIYADH, Jan 16: Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority, has revealed the upcoming "Knockout Chaos" showdown featuring former unified heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua and current heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou in a mixed martial arts clash. The highly-anticipated event is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 8, at the "Kingdom Arena" in the capital, Riyadh.

According to Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh, "Knockout Chaos" is a significant highlight of the Riyadh season, promising a night that will assemble multiple international champions in one of the world's most beloved sports.

Anthony Joshua, a former world champion in the World Boxing Association, the International Boxing Federation, and the World Boxing Organization, experienced a triumphant year. In the "Decisive Day" fight on December 23, he secured victory over Otto Wallin in five rounds during the Riyadh season events, reclaiming his status in the Elite heavyweight rankings.

Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, transitioned into boxing after his clash with WBC world champion Tyson Fury in "The Fiercest Man in the World" on October 28, which marked the beginning of the Riyadh season. The intensity of the fight peaked in the third round when Ngannou delivered a powerful punch, causing Fury to collapse to the ring floor.
