Francis Ngannou's Story by iyke109(m): 2:12am On Oct 29, 2023 |
Francis Ngannou has the craziest story in sports: • Born in Cameroon • Ate food from the trash • Started physical labor at 10 • Fled to Paris to chase his dream • Arrested 6x crossing borders • Slept on streets in Paris • Signed with UFC in 2015 • Became UFC Heavyweight Champion But then Ngannou left the UFC for a multi-million-dollar deal with the PFL that included: • High 7-figure per fight guarantee • $2M guarantee for his opponents • A share of each event's net profits • Freedom to box & sign sponsors • Equity in the PFL & Chairman of PFL Africa And tonight, Ngannou went toe-to-toe with the heavyweight champion of the world in his FIRST EVER boxing match, losing to Tyson Fury by split decision. What an insane life. #francisngannou #boxing 1 Share

Crazy and amazing story at the same time, what an inspiration! Hollywood or Netflix should make a movie/show about this man's life! |
