Francis Ngannou admits to being curious, but he really couldn’t care less about what his former boss thinks of his remarkable performance against Tyson Fury. Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, lost to WBC heavyweight champ Fury in his boxing debut, but he managed to shake up the sports world with his performance this past Saturday in a fight that was dubbed “Battle of the Baddest.” Ngannou dropped Fury in the third and lasted all 10 rounds with perhaps the greatest heavyweight boxer of his generation before dropping a split decision that many observers believe should’ve gone the other way . When asked Monday on “The MMA Hour” how he thinks UFC CEO Dana White feels about the fight, Ngannou shrugged and answered bluntly. “Who cares?” Ngannou told host Ariel Helwani. “Dana White feels like Dana White feels. I feel like I feel

Francis Ngannou coach Dewey Cooper expects top 10 boxing ranking after Tyson Fury fight

BAD MMA News — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 15:50:55 +0000

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – If there was any doubt whether or not Francis Ngannou belongs in the heavyweight boxing world, it was answered Saturday. Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou (0-1 boxing) lost a close split decision to WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia. Fury’s title wasn’t on the line, and in fact he already had his next title defense booked before he stepped foot in the ring with Ngannou. But after the Cameroon native knocked the unbeaten Fury down in the third round – the fight’s only knockdown – and won the fight with one of the three judges, his confidence for what he can do in the sweet science compared to MMA must have grown exponentially

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – It’d be hard to blame most combat sports observers for presuming they knew the eventual outcome to Francis Ngannou ’s boxing debut. They likely figured the former UFC heavyweight champion would take his career-best payday for a boxing match with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, maybe throw some punches for a few rounds, eventually get put away by the 6-foot-9 “Gypsy King,” then head back to his new MMA home, the PFL, to play once again in his own sandbox.
