Ahead of the non title contest between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou, tonight in Saudi Arabia, the authorities have awarded the Cameroonian-born fighter Premium Residency.
Turki Alalshikh who is the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) made this known on his Instagram page.
The Saudi Premium Residency, a residency permit in the Kingdom, grants foreign nationals the right to live, work, and own businesses and property in the country without requiring a sponsor.
Under the premium scheme, individuals are eligible to own property, including residential, commercial, and industrial real estate, in all areas of Saudi Arabia, excluding Mecca, Madina, and the border regions.
It also grants individuals the right to own and license vehicles and other modes of transportation within the country, and allows them to leave and re-enter Saudi Arabia freely and as often as they please.
