Francis Ngannou affirmed this Monday in an X post (ex-Twitter) that he was ready to face Stipe Miocic while awaiting the return of UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. Enough to continue to raise doubts around his next challenge.
PFL, English boxing, UFC… Cameroonian Francis Ngannou continues to cast doubt on his future. The day following an extraordinary boxing fight (his first among the pros) where he held off the WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, before losing by split decision, the Cameroonian’s next challenge is expected by all. .
But once once more, while many are waiting for the officialization of his first fight with the PFL, the organization with which he is now under contract, the colossus of Batié continues to do what he wants. Even if it means calling out the two legends of the UFC, a competing organization: Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones.
“I can take Stipe while I wait for Jones…”
In an X post (ex-Twitter), the 37-year-old fighter seemed to recognize that a return to MMA might interest him more, despite the promises of Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the WBC, to include him in the Top 10 of his federation’s ranking, following his high-level performance once morest the Gypsy King.
On Twitter, faced with the proposal of the lawyer specializing in combat sports, Erik Magrakan, to call-out (challenge) UFC fighters for an “undisputed heavyweight title in all organizations” (in a PFL-UFC duel ), the Cameroonian took to the game:
“I called out Jones but I can take Stipe at the same time, pending the return of JJ (for Jon Jones).”
A few months ago, the Cameroonian also offered a face-to-face match to Jon Jones, in the middle of the cage of a PFL event, increasing expectations around a possible clash between the two men.
But the American’s injury a few days before his fight once morest Stipe Miocic reshuffles the cards. The idea of a trilogy fight with Miocic, proposed by Ngannou, might however allow him to prove to everyone that he is indeed the best fighter on the planet.
Beyond the match-up itself, the Cameroonian’s proposal also allows the ball to be passed back to Dana White, the president of the UFC, who had declared several times at the time of the termination of the contract with Ngannou that the latter had “fear of taking risks”.
