Former UFC heavyweight champion Cameroonian Francis Ngannou, who recently parted ways with the promotion after lengthy and fruitless negotiations on a new contract, does not hide the fact that he wants to try himself in the boxing ring.
He even has coveted targets – British stars Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. And if the latter prefers to remain silent about a possible duel, then Tyson, as always, cannot be restrained – the other day, Fury already challenged Francis.
Ngannou reacted to the attack as rationally and soberly as possible, suggesting not to run ahead of the locomotive.
“This could be the next step, but again, everything needs to be agreed first,” Ngannou said. – Let me remind you that Tyson and I have been warming up on social networks for more than two years, and, of course, we all need this fight. The wait has been long. I hope we will have the opportunity to dot the i’s.
The British heavyweight UFC recently discussed Francis’ chances against Joshua and Fury, with Chael Sonnen saying the Fury-Ngannou fight is “the dumbest idea in the history of the sport.”
