Francis Ngannou: 'I’m not in a better position to be a boxing champ'

Francis Ngannou may have fought two of the biggest-name heavyweight boxers in the world, but he does not have plans to chase a title in the ring.

Makes sense.
Got completely destroyed and will clearly not be the same fighter.
When your built to be some unstoppable machine and then you get flattened like that.....

Seems his next fight is in mma vs Ferreira and I for one will be watching.

There were plenty of Jones fans who I saw claiming he'd never fight in mma again, weirdly.

He's made bank in the two boxing fights and fought two of the best HW of this generation. No need to go waste more brain cells, though it would be interesting to see a rematch between him and Fury

He got the bag x2 so yeah, I'd say not much more to do there.

Well, he ran when his next opponent was likely to be Jones. That's not the case anymore.

Thanks. I needed a good laugh this morning.

No.

Not sure why, but my IP is apparently banned from visiting the site to read full article.

But according to the little text we can read, it says he is not chasing the title, not that he isn't boxing anymore? Vastly different things. Money fight all the way.

The Boxing world will miss Ngannou and his stellar 0-2 record.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Francis is still undoubtably the #1 heavyweight MMA fighter in the world.

 

[Steve Fox]

He also gets tea bagged on his next MMA bout. Just wait..

Tell me a guy who gets to fight the linear world boxing champion in his first boxing fight and do rather well? And than lose yes badly but against a top elite boxer ranked in the top 3 like Joshua.

It's never happen before ever I believe. A man with no official boxing professional experience at all.

I think his record would've been a lot better if he fought lower tier guys at first and build up his resume.

But it's understandable in what he did, because he was considered the baddest man in MMA or even the world for being the UFC champion.

These opportunities are very rare and few and far between. Might as well make the most of it.

Surely the money fight is Francis v Wilder? They can build it up as a clash of the World's best knock out artists. Francis would actually have a chance too, because Wilder is washed and could never box for toffee anyway.

Neither guy has ever been a draw and Francis just got annihilated. No one cares about him boxing anymore.

Ferreira is a super lame fight and it has heavy risk. hopefully he wins that. i'd prefer if he was done with boxing i think that sport aims to play him and make an example out of him also unless he ko's clean he would lose a lot of decisions

 

[Deceasedxo]

He found out why boxers get paid more when Joshua handled him like a child fighting his dad.
