Francis Ngannou is ready to add a GLORY kickboxing champion to his 2025 hit list.
“The Predator” has previously crossed paths with the 35 year-old power puncher and wants to establish himself as the premiere heavyweight fighter in all of combat sports
“I have trained with him,” Ngannou told Ariel Helwani. “We’re not friends. I mean, we met once at the gym. Yeah we’re friends, but not to the extent that we cannot fight each other. We’re gym friends. Send me a deal.”
Ngannou, 38, returned to the win column by destroying Renan Ferreira atop the PFL: “Battle of the Giants“ pay-per-view (PPV) card last weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Perhaps the only way to make it a fair fight is to stage the contest under boxing rules, since Ngannou is not a kickboxer and “The King of Kickboxing” has just one fight in MMA.
Verhoeven has yet to respond to the challenge.
