BOXING fans raged at Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou’s dragged out pre-fight show.
The boxing and MMA stars collided in Saudi Arabia as part of a huge crossover clash.
But viewers were made to wait for the men to finally share the ring due to a drawn out opening ceremony.
And it’s fair to say fans were not best pleased with the never ending performances which kept the main-event from starting.
One said: “Anyone would think we’re watching Eurovision ffs. Get on with it!”
Another added: “There isn’t a single f***ing person in the f***ing world that wants to see this s**** f***ing pre fight “entertainment” show.”

One agreed: “How longs the opening ceremony for Fury Ngannou? Came for a scrap not a concert.”
Another fumed: “What even is this open ceremony s****. Get on with the boxing.”
Fury, 35, faces ex-UFC champion Ngannou, 37, in the first of his three-fight deal with the Kingdon of Saudi Arabia.
He has already signed to face Oleksandr Usyk, 36, in a historic four-belt unification bout with a rematch included in the contract.

So Fury has warned his boxing future could lie exclusively in the Middle East.
He said: “Will Saudi be my permanent home for the rest of my career? I think so.
“I’m really well looked after out here, I get everything I need. All the big fights are coming here and this is where the big dough is.
“I did my two big fights in the UK last year, Chisora and Whyte, Tottenham and Wembley. Now I’m over here for the twilight of my career.”
