Fury vs. Ngannou boxing ring rises from underneath the stage during long opening ceremony

When the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou pay-per-view main card started, there was no ring in the arena because even that deserved a grand entrance for the event being held in Saudi Arabia.

Following three undercard fights that all ended in knockouts, a massive concert started with performances from hip-hop artists Lil Baby, Becky G and Flow Dan that led to the eventual emergence of the boxing ring where the main event would be held.It was quite a spectacle with the ring rising from underneath the stage in the middle of the performance, which was already one of the crazier moments in recent combat sports history like something straight out of Rocky IV.
