Francis Ngannou abruptly left the UFC back in January, citing issues with their problematic contract. Despite being highly sought after by competitor promotions, the former UFC heavyweight champion has yet to find a new fighting spot that welcomes him with open arms. Even ONE Championship, which was keen on signing the ‘Predator’ for their promotion, has backed out of the race recently after he refused their mammoth deal worth $20 million.

In the midst of all this, Ngannou has seemingly irked his fans as well. The Cameroonian mixed martial artist has put out a rather sarcastic post flaunting his luxury lifestyle, despite the complications he’s faced in finding a new home after leaving the UFC. However, this move has faced severe backlash from fans who are not buying into it.

Sights set on boxing the toughest puncher

Francis Ngannou has always expressed his interest in boxing, and it seems he has some interesting plans ahead of him in that regard. During an interview with TMZ, the 36-year-old MMA fighter reflected on the news of him getting into the boxing ring with the former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder.

Speaking on the same, Ngannou said, “We are looking into it. Because he[Deontay Wilder] is available, he is ready to [do] that, he’s very excited about it. He wants it.” He further added, “So we are looking into that. That’s something I’m very excited about. We even discussed a potential one fight in Africa and one fight somewhere else.”

Ngannou further addressed the lack of experience he has in the boxing domain and acknowledged Wilder’s edge over him. This is one such deal that surely sounds interesting, and it’ll be exciting to see how it all unfolds.
