Francis Ngannou is pursuing bigger and better opportunities post-UFC.<\/p>\n
From mid-2022 onwards, interest in a fight between former UFC heavyweight champion and reigning heavyweight boxing king Tyson Fury is on the rise. The baddest MMA man on the planet was recovering from knee surgery last year, but was clear about his intentions until his final UFC release earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Fury also seems to be still interested in the match, so it’s just a matter of figuring out the exact details. It was less than species variation.<\/p>\n
“You’ll see Tyson Fury come out over the weekend and be the first to clarify what he’s going to do with Frances first,” Sonnen said on his YouTube channel. “They were going to play a game, but they were going to do something combat-related. For reasons unknown, they weren’t going to box.” I offered to box it up, but for reasons unknown, Tyson didn’t accept the invitation and intended to make up the rules.<\/p>\n
“Tyson finally explained what they were. They were going to fight in a cage. I don’t know why. They were going to fight in a cage. will wear four-time gloves, I don’t know why, but it’s okay, and then they’re going to follow the rules of boxing, the rules of Queensbury.”<\/p>\n
Ngannou claimed he turned down “about $8 million” to stay in the UFC and wanted more freedom in his overall opportunity. , and Ngannou can definitely add to that mix with a player like Fury.<\/p>\n
“I put this out there because of how disappointing it is to see these boxers as beggars,” Sonnen said. But they don’t know how to get there and get it for themselves.They don’t know how.Tyson I don’t want to call it a disappointment, I was really close to calling it that, but I I don’t want to call it that. Tyson gave us probably the dumbest idea in sports history, and I know he is.”<\/p>\n
The match between Ngannou and Fury will be The Predator’s debut as a professional boxer. The last time the undefeated Fury (33-0-1) fought was in December 2022, when Derek took his third win of his career against Chisora. Meanwhile, Ngannou defeated Cyril Gane by unanimous decision in January 2022.<\/p>\n
As far as the public knows, there’s no real traction for a potential fight between Fury and Ngannou, though Ngannou hinted the last time they spoke. MMA Hour<\/em> He said he’s working on something for the summer. Fury is now the one with all the “real” boxing options and is looking into the possibility of boxing Oleksandr Usik in the near future.<\/p>\n “To see a guy in that position who could have taken the lead, who had the connections, who should have done this behind the scenes, who could have come out and made the announcement, to see the jokes instead.” Lobbying the world \u2014 it was just weird,” Sonnen said.<\/p>\n “Do or don’t? If you do, why do you do it in a cage? Why do you do it with four-and-a-half gloves? Why do you call boxing Queensbury? Why don’t we make this really simple?” Tell me, because then we have to do it.That’s why.We make it complicated so we can stop doing it.”<\/p>\n heritage.<\/strong> John Hackleman retired from cornering after trying to call off Grover Teixeira vs. Jamahal Hill at UFC 283<\/p>\n outside.<\/strong> Jiri Prochaska aiming for summer return from shoulder injury: ‘Much better than everyone expected’<\/p>\n husband.<\/strong> Anthony Smith vows never to drop weight again after going heavy as backup for UFC 283<\/p>\n Ranking.<\/strong> Jamahal Hill enters top 20 after winning UFC title<\/p>\n problem.<\/strong> Report: Conor McGregor denies allegations of assault on women in Ibiza<\/p>\n team.<\/strong> Saif Saud explains how he started working with Brandon Moreno after James Krause’s suspension<\/p>\n Next.<\/strong> The eyes of UFC Champion Alex Pereira<\/p>\n free fight.<\/p>\n
