Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou has garnered a lot of scrutiny. The two heavyweight titans were going back and forth for their potential bout for a substantial period. However, their fight was not anticipated by the boxing world at large. Over the summer, ‘The Gypsy King’ was contemplating a fight against Oleksandr Usyk for their undisputed clash. Moreover, their bout fell apart as the negotiations were not prolific.

The boxing world, on the other hand, is in a frenzy to witness Fury defend his title against Ngannou. However, in a recent turn of events, Jake Paul lauds Ngannou for choosing to fight Fury. What does he say, and why does he say so? Let’s find out.

Jake Paul weighs in on Fury vs. Ngannou

The 26-year-old has immersed himself in the sport. However, he is not only associated with the sport in the capacity of a boxer but also as a promoter. Safe to say, that the CEO of, ‘Most Valuable Promotions’ understands the business of the fight business. Moreover, he has been a big advocate for fighter pay. One reason why Ngannou is facing Fury is to get backend money for the fight and make a substantial profit.

According to Paul, this sets a precedent for other fighters to make bold moves in their careers. Reflecting on the same, on the full-send podcast, he stated, “I think it is great for Francis to show other fighters a road map to becoming their own wealthy, multi-business mogul and leaving the UFC wherein he was taken advantage of. Only getting like 600k for fights when he’s the heavyweight champion of the world.”
