‘The Predator’ is an impressive fighter today, but he had to face several poverty issues back in the day. Ngannou who is #1 in the UFC heavyweight division, his last match against Stipe Miocic earned him about $5,30,000. Logan Paul, who recently entered the boxing game, took home $20M from his fight.
Sharing his view over Paul’s earnings from the event Ngannou wrote on his Twitter account saying, “It’s crazy to think that Logan Paul (0-1) just made $20M on a boxing exhibition.

‘The Predator’ is about to defend his heavyweight strap to Derrick Lewis in his next match. This is not stopping him from showing his love for boxing. Fans have repeatedly seen Ngannou getting into a war of words with ‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury.
Both the men are interested in facing each other in a boxing ring but they cannot officially sign up for the fight. However, in the past, fans have seen such crossovers like the Mayweather vs McGregor fight. This sets the possibility that the square-off between them would take place sometime soon.
Ngannou has been an elite striker in the UFC so a possible to the boxing ring can bring him some fresh challenges. It wouldn’t guarantee his chances of winning but Ngannou can still pull off a heavyweight blockbuster.
Do you think Francis Ngannou should make a move to the boxing ring? Let us know in the comment section.
