Ahead of a potential boxing clash with current WBC heavyweight titleholder, Tyson Fury, former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou has been touted to earn up to “50 times” more than other UFC fighters – by the Morecambe native himself.
Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined from combat sports since successfully unifying the heavyweight crowns against then-interim gold holder, Ciryl Gane back in January of last year in the main event of UFC 270.
As for Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion most recently landed a third career win over veteran title chaser, Derek Chisora, defeating his compatriot with a tenth round slew of strikes for a standing TKO triumph back in December of last year.
And last night, following weeks of speculation regarding a potential exhibition boxing match between the duo – where knockdowns are prohibited, however, multiple reports detailed how a matchup between Fury and UFC alum, Ngannou is set to be announced imminently.
While speaking on speculation of a potential squared circle outing with Batié native, Ngannou, Fury touted that the Cameroonian knockout artist is in for a rather sizeable payday when compared with his former UFC counterparts.
“We’ve had a lot of offers from the Middle East at the moment to host that fight over the summer,” Tyson Fury said of a bout with Francis Ngannou while speaking on the Out of Interest Podcast. “[The purse is] private information, but let’s say it’s 10, 20, 30 – f*cking 50 times the amount (UFC fighters make).” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)
Following his decision to depart the UFC back in January of this year, Francis Ngannou penned a multi-fight deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters League) – ahead of an expected outing under the organization’s banner in the opening quarter of 2024.
According to multiple reports this Friday night, undisputed WBC heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury, and former undisputed UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou are slated to fight next – with an announcement of a long-speculated clash imminent.

According to multiple reports this Friday night, undisputed WBC heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury, and former undisputed UFC heavyweight titleholder, Francis Ngannou are slated to fight next – with an announcement of a long-speculated clash imminent.
According to an initial report from Ariel Helwani, Morecambe native, Tyson Fury is expected to fight former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou next – with an announcement of a bout coming in the near future.
“Tyson Fury x Francis Ngannou is expected to be announced very soon, per sources,” Helwani tweeted.
News of an expected clash of Fury and Batié knockout artist, Ngannou has come off the back of claims from Matchroom Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, that the duo are expected to face-off next in their next respective combat sports walks, however, according to the latter, knockdowns in a potential exhibition bout are prohibited.
Sidelined from professional boxing since successfully defending his WBC heavyweight championship back in December of last year in London, Fury most recently turned in an impressive tenth round TKO win over three-time foe, Derek Chisora – landing his third victory over the challenger to boot.
As for Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion has been sidelined since his final Octagon outing back in January of last year at UFC 270, defeating then-interim champion, Ciryl Gane in a unanimous decision title unification win.
Sidelined from mixed martial arts competition since then, Ngannou, who has since penned a multi-fight deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters League), is expected to make his debut outing with the Peter Murray-led organization in the opening quarter of 2024 to boot.
33-0-1 as a professional, over the course of his gold-laden professional boxing career, Fury has landed notable career wins over the likes of Steve Cunningham, Derek Chisora, Wladimir Klitschko, Tom Schwarz, Otto Wallin, Deontay Wilder, and DIllian Whyte to name a few.
Despite firmly denying the future possibility of sharing the Octagon with UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones in a mixed martial arts setting, current WBC heavyweight kingpin, Tyson Fury believes the Endicott veteran is susceptible to a certain punch.

Despite firmly denying the future possibility of sharing the Octagon with UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones in a mixed martial arts setting, current WBC heavyweight kingpin, Tyson Fury believes the Endicott veteran is susceptible to a certain punch.
Fury, the current undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, who has been linked with a title fight against fellow world champion, Oleksandr Uysk – has yet to actually book a potential end-of-year pairing, with the Ukraine native instead defending his gold against British challenger, Daniel Dubois later this summer in Poland.
In the time between a much-clamored for fight with Usyk potentially in December in Saudi Arabia, Fury has been linked as well with a potential exhibition bout of sorts with former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, with knockdowns unsanctioned in a potential clash of the sport titans.
Fueling the fire of his rivalry with former light heavyweight champion-turned UFC heavyweight kingpin, Jones across social media in recent months, Morecambe native, Fury has stoked flames once more this week on his official socials, reacting to footage play-fighting with UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya.
Looks like it's all love between Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones

Breaking down the stance and in particular, the defense of two-weight UFC titleholder, Jones, Fury claimed the former was open to one shot in particular.
“Jon Jones, imagine the amount of [right] hands I’d catch u (sic) with,” Tyson Fury wrote on social media.
And in a fiery response to the WBC heavyweight titleholder, Jones claimed that with some time spent training boxing solely, he could potentially spring the upset against the former.
“I have no reason to doubt myself against any man,” Jon Jones replied. “Give me a few months in a serious boxing camp. I like my chances. I may just knock you out.” (Transcribed by TalkSPORT)
Heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury added some additional fuel to the rumors that his next fight will come against Francis Ngannou. ‘The Gypsy King’ has been searching for an opponent ever since his 10th-round TKO against Derek Chisora in December.

Heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury added some additional fuel to the rumors that his next fight will come against Francis Ngannou.
‘The Gypsy King’ has been searching for an opponent ever since his 10th-round TKO against Derek Chisora in December. Unfortunately, little progress has been made with negotiations to fight both Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua falling apart in recent months. Despite the lack of an opponent, Tyson Fury is still determined to step back into the squared circle by September and suggested that the man he meets could end up being the former UFC heavyweight champ.
“There’s been a lot of talk of me and Ngannou fighting each other and he wants to come to boxing,” Fury told the Out of Interest Podcast during a recent trip to Australia. “He wants to fight me, talking a lot of stuff on Instagram, was even at one of my last fights, got in the ring, and confronted me.
“There’s potential but we’ve had a lot of offers come in from the Middle East to host that fight this summer,” Fury revealed.

Tyson Fury had previously been linked to a fight with Usyk in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year, but fight promoter Frank Warren confirmed that is no longer the case. However, Warren did reveal that a Fury fight announcement would be coming in the next few weeks and that it would be a ‘game-changer’ for fight fans. Warren also confirmed Fury’s interest in cross-promotional fights against Ngannou and the reigning UFC heavyweight king, Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. “Yeah, he’s up for that. He can’t sit around twiddling his thumbs,” Warren told talkSPORT.
But don’t expect Tyson Fury to step inside the Octagon or PFL Smart Cage anytime soon. ‘The Gypsy King’ has remained adamant that he is not a cage fighter and only intends on competing in the ring where he runs the show.
“Do I want to go into a cage and start rolling about with some absolute crank? No, thank you,” Fury joked. “But I’m not being paid to go in a ring and do that, am I? I make big boy money in a boxing ring, so if any of these guys want to make some big boy money and they want to fight the champ, I suggest get a pair of boxing gloves on and come and fight me under Queensbury rules and make your biggest payday ever” (h/t Manchester Evening News).
| Eddie Hearn has said he's heard that Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury is going to happen next as an exhibition fight.
