The man standing in his way, is an MMA fighter - Francis Ngannou.

Former cruiserweight world champion, Johnny Nelson joins The Sports Agents to discuss the risk v the rewards and why more fighters are switching codes.

And as Saudi Arabia prepares to host yet another elite heavyweight bout - has the Kingdom become the 'new home' of boxing's blue-riband division.

And Gabby & Mark discuss the conflict all fans face between dream fights and human rights.
