Well, Kim isn’t the only lucky girl whom Francis has flirted or tried to flirt with recently. He also flirted with a reporter while she was asking him about the Anthony Joshua fight.

From fight prep to flirtation

During a live TV interview, Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, left audiences and social media buzzing with what many interpreted as a flirty remark. When asked by reporter Olivia Buzaglo if he planned to stay for Anthony Joshua’s workout, Ngannou intriguingly responded, “I have something else to do… which is you.”

Buzaglo herself responded humorously to the ensuing online chatter, replying to a tweet about the incident with “Ahahahahaha ffs 🤣🤣🤣,” indicating her amusement at the unexpected moment.
