As the throne as the 17th UFC heavy champion, Francis Ngannou received more than $ 500,000 after the victory at UFC 260.
Although the nunnou and the UFC organizers have not had any controversy related to money. But this boxer claimed that he would sometimes step into the boxing battlefield for better remuneration.
“The arena at MMA is harder to compete more than Boxing. I don't want to fall into a borrowing situation to pay for the training.” Nunnou shared on The MMA Hour. “I want to become rich. That's why I will play Boxing.”
According to statistics from Sportsdaily, Ngunnou has only brought more than 2 million USD after more than 8 years of MMA. Meanwhile, the world's top boxing punches such as Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder have imported tens of millions of dollars after only 1 match. More than the total income of nunnou dozens of times.
In fact, the desire to join the boxing floor has been shared by Ngunnou for a long time. In early 2019, this boxer once said: “Boxing is my background skill. I have loved Boxing from a very floor. It must have been more than 10 years, when I didn't know what MMA was. I came to MMA as a lucky, but the boxing was still a great love. Therefore, in the future, there will be times when I compare on the boxing floor.”
Ngannou has now received countless invitations to play at Boxing. Typically, the invitation to compare with the 5th -class fist of the Dillian Whyte of Eddie Hearn in early April.
It is not known what the future of the nunnou in Boxing will be like, but what he should focus on is the UFC championship against his old friend Ciryl Gane at the UFC 270 event, expected to be held in early 2022.
