Fury vs Ngannou stream fails as fans fume over screeching sound on TNT Sports

The Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou live stream on TNT Sports Box Office has left fans fuming after being subjected to a screeching noise. The event, named ‘Battle of the Baddest’, has divided opinion, with the current WBC world heavyweight champion boxer taking on the former UFC heavyweight champion mixed martial artist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. TNT Sports Box Office charged UK fans £21.95 to watch the fight, but the stream online and on the app was unavailable until just after 7pm BST. Worse still, many of those tuning in before encountered a piercing sound, leaving fight fans angry and unable to watch some of the undercard, including Martin Bakole’s knockout of Carlos Takam in another heavyweight encounter.

As Itauma made his way to the ring, the sound disappeared for over a minute and footage flickered in and out, with many encountering static noise.
