Francis Ngannou, a famous fighter from Cameroon who recently made his PFL debut, is clearly determined to expand his fighting range. Although MMA is his primary discipline, he does not plan to end his career exclusively in that sport. Although we remember his brutal defeat in a boxing match against Anthony Joshua, it seems that this has not discouraged him from continuing his boxing career. Given his strength, Ngannou believes that he is capable of perfecting the skills that will allow him to fight at the highest level in this discipline as well.
Potential opponents
While it is still unknown what awaits him in the coming months, Ngannou recently put forward a few names that could become his next opponents. To the surprise of many, he mentioned the possibility of fighting boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko, as well as the best kickboxer in the world. He is aware that such matches would attract huge audience attention and could bring significant financial profit. Although Klitschko has been out of the ring for years, Ngannou clearly wants the chance to fight him.
“I still have a few fights left in my career. I’m focusing on a few specific fights, and I have a lot of options. There’s Rico Verhoeven, Derek Chisora and, of course, Wladimir Klitschko. I want to box in the next fight. I think it’s all about timing. There are interesting fights in the PFL too, so I have to be ready for all options,” Ngannou told Sportsbook Review.
Ngannou, now 38, is clearly looking to use his final fights to make as much profit as possible, and is less focused on the sporting ambitions that drove him earlier in his career. His focus on big fights and financial gain is becoming increasingly apparent. While many believe that money has become a key motivator, his next step in the world of fighting continues to raise many doubts among fans.
