Amid links to a potential return to the Octagon, former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou has issued a reminder to fans claiming he shouldn’t be considered the promotion’s lineal titleholder — despite never losing the crown durnig his tenure.
Ngannou, who was stripped of his heavyweight belt at the beginning of 2023, completed his contractual obligations with the Dana White-led promotion at the beginning of that same year, before ending his stay with the organization.
And since then, the Batie native has fought twice in professional boxing, taking on former British world championship holders, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
