Heavyweight Francis Ngannou, who is currently set to face former two-time unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in the boxing ring on March 8th, will then return to MMA to make his Professional Fighters League (PFL) debut against the winner of a fight between Renan Ferreira and Ryan Bader, who tussle this weekend at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ngannou, a former UFC champion, lost a narrow decision against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury last year before signing to face Joshua in another boxing match.
Looks like he made the right decision to leave the UFC.
Everyone thought Francis was crazy for leaving Dana White’s slave contract. I’m proud of him for betting on himself. He put on a gallant effort against the HW champ of the world.
If Ngannou beats Joshua, that’s a huge gamechanger.
Dana White putting thumbs down on the comments…lol
If the money is good, he should go were maney calls!
If he wins, more money and big fights are waiting in Boxing; why go back to that brutal MMA?
