Former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou departed the Octagon back in January with championship in tow, and according to professional boxer, Jake Paul, the Cameroonian – who he described as the “best heavyweight fighter in the world”, should be treated in accordance.
Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, most recently headlined UFC 270 back in January of last year against former interim gold holder, Ciryl Gane, landing a unanimous decision win in the pair’s title-eliminator clash.
In January of this year, however, Francis Ngannou was handed his UFC exit, stripped of his championship and removed from the official heavyweight rankings, having completed his contractual obligations with the organization.
