UFC champion Francis Ngannou has not yet given up the idea of entering the British boxing ring.
At this time, Francis Ngannou is still in the process of negotiating a contract with UFC. In addition to the remuneration issue that needs to be agreed upon, the heavyweight champion also wants to attach a clause allowing boxing matches in the new contract with the world’s largest MMA tournament.
“Boxing is still one of my goals. That will happen even if I am playing in the UFC. We have negotiated a new contract. The boxing clause is a must. Because , I don’t think I will retire without boxing,” Ngannou said.
Ngannou wants to face Fury in the future
In case he gets into the boxing ring, Ngannou wants to face top names like Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Despite the risks he may encounter, the boxer from Cameroon believes that he can cause difficulties for the top names in boxing.
“I want to fight all of them. I want to challenge big names like Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. MMA and boxing are different but I am the champion, the number one in the weight class. After all, everyone It’s still just a matter of throwing punches. I’m sure my punches are very good and can make it difficult for them.”
After a tense period, the relationship between Ngannou and the UFC showed signs of cooling down. A few days ago, Chairman Dana White admitted that the negotiation process was progressing well. Ngannou’s representative Marquel Martin also expressed his desire for the domestic chicken to stay in the tournament. “We are open to closing the deal. If they have a good offer, we are ready to respond.”
Ngannou won the UFC title after defeating Stipe Miocic last March. On January 22, “The Predator” will have his first title defense with opponent Ciryl Gane.
Ngannou knocked out Miocic at UFC 260
