WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has recently gone on record calling out former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou to a mixed rules boxing bout.

There has been talk of a boxing match between the undefeated Englishman and hardest hitting human in recorded history for a while now, and now that Ngannou’s a free agent with his UFC release being granted, it could be the perfect opportunity to make this fight happen.

Fury has been without a dance partner since winning his trilogy with Derek Chisora back in December of last year, and there has been talk of Ngannou making his boxing debut against the former intercontinental champion as well.

Fury is also working on a title unification bout opposing WBA, IBF, WBO, Ring Magazine, and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Nonetheless, should negotiations for those fights go south, Fury has made Ngannou the following offer, posted on Twitter by Michael Benson:

“If the contract doesn’t get signed with Oleksandr Usyk, then we’ll do the Ngannou fight.”

The cage may be a strange touch to put on a fight like this, as well as four ounce gloves. That being said, who wouldn’t want to see it? We’ve got perhaps the no. 1 heavyweight boxer on the planet and the proven no. 1 mixed martial artist on the planet that is capable of knocking any living man in the world today unconscious.

Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is interested in a boxing match now that he’s a free agent. 

The 36-year old was released from the UFC this past weekend after failed negotiations with the company. Now, he can do whatever he wants, including a stint in boxing. 

He was a guest on The MMA Hour, where he spoke about his desire to split his time between boxing and mixed martial arts.

I want to achieve something in boxing and stay in MMA. I feel like I still have a lot to express, a lot to give to the sport of MMA. I discovered MMA later in my life and I feel like I still have some mileage to give in the sport. In a perfect world, I go out there, get some boxing matches, come back, get some MMA [fights]. Maybe switch again. I don’t know. Depends what will be the challenge out there. I think if I have the opportunity to fight all those top guys in boxing, I will take it.” 

Francis Ngannou Has Not Been Shy About Fighting Boxing’s Elite

Last April, “The Predator” was in the boxing ring with champion Tyson Fury after his win over Dillian Whyte. The two heavyweights have exchanged words on social media surrounding a potential crossover event. 

Ngannou named Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as two potential opponents for his professional boxing debut. When asked about his return to combat sports, Ngannou hopes to fight by the first half of 2023. 

The latest would be July…at least twice a year. Go right this year,” Ngannou said. “My gut would say boxing… I’m working on it.” 

The Cameroon native revealed that the UFC “didn’t want anything to do with boxing” during negotiations. Now, the current free agent will be able to have discussions with any promotion.

UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, seems to be gearing up to test the waters of free agency.

The dispute between Ngannou and the UFC has been long, and ugly, seemingly no closer to a resolution than it was a few months ago, despite reports that he and former light-heavyweight champion, Jon Jones were slated to fight in March.

It has been hard to tell whether Ngannou would stay or leave during this period. At times it seemed certain that he would go, even jumping in the ring with Tyson Fury after his KO win over Dillian Whyte, after being linked to an exhibition fight with ‘The Gypsy King’.

Whatever he decides to do, Ngannou has been steadfast in his belief that wherever he does go, should pay up. Ngannou hasn’t shied away from the fighter pay issue, reportedly only earning $600,000 for his recent title defense against Ciryl Gane.

Francis Ngannou teases PFL move

Posting to Instagram, Ngannou would post a series of photos, in which a relative can be seen wearing a PFL shirt.

This comes shortly after PFL announced that they had influencer turned boxer, Jake Paul, in what is regardless of his motives or fighting ability, a big move.

PFL have also promised to make strides in terms of fighter pay, promising 50% revenue share with fighters who compete in their ‘super fight division. They also supposedly have been handing out big pay cheques to their bigger names and those who have switched from other promotions. Anthony Pettis earned $750,000, despite losing, for his PFL 5 bout in July of last year and Kayla Harrison $500,00 for her PFL 6 fight.
