News Francis Ngannou in talks with GLORY

[BoxerMaurits]

Robbie Timmers, GLORY Kickboxing matchmaker & head of talent, revealed in two Dutch combat sports podcasts that they’re in talks with Francis Ngannou.

Robbie said Francis was interested in kickboxing and that he and his team were very positive about what GLORY has to offer, also in terms of contractual conditions (I assume he’s talking about a non-exclusive contract here, so that Ngannou is free to do whatever he wants outside of fighting for GLORY, something the UFC wouldn’t offer him).
According to Robbie, at the moment the biggest obstacle is a financial agreement. As of now Ngannou and GLORY are not aligned in terms of his pay, but they’re working on it.

If I hear anything relevant regarding the negotiations, I’ll post it in this thread

Also interesting to note:

GLORY will organize an 8-man Heavyweight Grand Prix in December 2023.
Having Ngannou on the line-up for this tournament would be pretty sick

Ngannou is in talks with everyone

Everybody wants a piece of the “Ford Escort” on their show

 

[Natural Order]

I like my kickboxing with a heavy dose of kicks. That's a pass from me. I'd rather see him let those ham hocks fly in the boxing ring.

Who care what ngannou does now, he left the ufc, he is nobody now

Rockhold bkfc and ngannou glory? Something went wrong..

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I like his chances here better than boxing, tbh.

If he can sharpen up his kicks and defense a tad, his power can KO quite a few of those guys.

 

[billharford]

No doubt that’s where he’ll get his 30 mil

 

[tomjones]

Ngannou obviously isn't getting that huge boxing payday.

If you wonder how Ngannou looks in a k1 fight, here is one (2015):

That would at least be interesting.
Im down.

Looked pretty decent.
His stand up is better now so it would be interesting to see what he can do.

He actually looked better than expected. He's looked far more wild and scrubby than that in the UFC

You sound like a little bitch.

He'll be very sad when "point fighter" Fury slaps the absolute shit out of him and KO's him.
