Coach Ghana: “Ngannou has always been obsessed with the USA. Dreamed of moving there

Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion trainer Cyril Gan and Francis Ngannou’s former trainer Fernand Lopez in an interview SE» spoke about the love of his former fighter for America.

– You said that Francis always raved about America and wanted to live there. Why?

– I do not know. People have their complexes. Perhaps in Cameroon he watched all these American films, Hollywood and thought how cool it was. I once asked him: “Hey, freeboy, why are you so turned on the USA?” He replied: “I don’t know, I always dreamed of going there.” He’s just in love with America.

Why do you call him a freeboy?

He was the first to call me that. This is the name of people who escaped from Africa to Europe or the USA. It is believed that such a person has gained freedom, and therefore a freeboy (from the English “free” – “free”).

Ngannou and Gan will fight on January 22 at UFC 270 in Anaheim.
