Ahead of a potential boxing clash with current WBC heavyweight titleholder, Tyson Fury, former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou has been touted to earn up to “50 times” more than other UFC fighters – by the Morecambe native himself.
Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined from combat sports since successfully unifying the heavyweight crowns against then-interim gold holder, Ciryl Gane back in January of last year in the main event of UFC 270.
As for Fury, the current WBC heavyweight champion most recently landed a third career win over veteran title chaser, Derek Chisora, defeating his compatriot with a tenth round slew of strikes for a standing TKO triumph back in December of last year.
