For someone who couldn’t speak a word of English just a few years back Francis’s command of the language is impressive. Just goes to show his level of competence and commitment.
Love his attitude and personality. So calm and down to earth, no arrogance at all. It's a breath of fresh air, especially when you see where he came from to get here.
Nobody gives a shit, they want to see if he’s for real in a boxing ring but all indications point out that he’s going to get obliterated by Tyson Fury for trying to cash in on an easy paycheck.
I am a massive boxing fan, I have boxed internationally and have had 65 fights and I am also a second Dan black belt in karate competing in the European and World Championships. Ngannou impresses me and I like his attitude. I think this fight is very interesting and it’s not a foregone conclusion. Good luck Ngannou you deserve massive respect. Martin Caldwell
You would beat Ngannou. Ngannou has zero actual fighting experience in the boxing ring, which puts him at a severe disadvantage against any experienced boxer. It's the mismatch of the century.
In a physical competition your mindset doesn’t mean shit when you’re inferior in every aspect of the game. I guess if the other guy is doing coke for months and drinking and laying on the couch he would have a punchers chance. Tyson could lay around for 5 years and Nganou could train every day for 5 years and fury would still beat him in a boxing match.
That’s our spirit from Cameroon. As a law enforcement officer in America and given my short stay in the United States, colleagues can’t believe. We learn really quick, strong mindset and we don’t care if we make mistakes along the way but we are determined to go through the toughest times yet to come. Am so proud of myself when I looked at my background.
You shouldn’t enforce laws in a country you’re not even a citizen in. That’s insane. and what kind of shot department would do that? You can’t work in a factory but you’re pretending your a police officer and a non citizen ?.
@@snookmeister55 No county should allow a guy with a green card to enforce laws. It’s insane if he was employed in law enforcement. That should definitely change.
Francis Ngannou, with your confident the universe is with you and you will surely come out victorious on 28th October 2023. You are in the process of re-writhing Boxing History. May all the devine forces of the universe re-energise you to achieve your heart desires.
en général les gens fort n ont pas besoin de faire pleins de cinéma….. il nous montre le jour venu regarde overem qui et un très bon combattant et puissant a force de parler samedi soir tu feras dodo lui avait juste dit francis ko
One of the things that we can learn from these champions is that their work ethic is impeccable. You don’t get to where he is without being extremely disciplined, organized and continually trying to be better. Us normies should adopt this attitude with the things in our life as well. Let’s go be champs fellas 💪🏻
I consider myself and a lot of people I know much more focused, organized, hardworking and ambitious than him. What separates us from him is that his profession can generate 10 million in a single night, and that is just how humans value things today.
Bret is a great interviewer, always cool and relaxed. Win or lose Francises life is a success story and when he said listen to Bret you know who’s coaching him 😂✊
Yeah I like how he asks generic questions that eveyone knows the answers too And he’s chill and relaxed. And being Chill and relaxed and generic is what I like about his style. and he’s chill and relaxed as well as relaxed and really chill
Dana's "I don't do gimmick fights, but Jones vs Fury is a good fight to make" dumba** must feel really stupid as a businessman. He could've made lots of money off of Francis like he did Conor in a boxing match and STILL keep him under UFC contract. Now he can't reap any of the benefits😂
I hope he can light a fire in his belly for next week. He seems so calm and humble. As someone else said,..you can’t help but like him. He’s so grounded for potentially the hardest guy on the planet. I really wish him well and pray he can do the rounds and quieten fury down a notch or ten. Good luck Francis. I think you can do this. 🥊🥊💯👍🙏🏻
Well no shit. That goes for any player in a sport. Tyson is doing this to promote the fight and get paid. And be a face for it. Tyson won’t even be in his corner. Tyson has sold the shittiest products and out his name on anything for a dollar for 30 years.
Ik furys chin and head movement is crazy but body shots from ngannou well times would set up so good shots i can see a sceniario in which ngannou can win
Francis has way better boxing skills than what folks think and you'll see it when he and T.Fury fight. Francis started boxing at 18....he just turned 38 last month. That's 20 years. He used to be the No1 sparring partner for former top 15 HW Carlos Takam and was Joe Joyce's No1 sparring partner when Joyce fought Daniel Dubois.
If he's gonna get drawn into a boxing skills show like what happened with Joshua and Usyk,This fight with Fury is gonna be over sooner than people believe?
What is hard to understand ? He has started to train for boxing and Fernand Lopez asked him to do MMA which was something very weird for him. So he has learnt MMA and became a champ and now he want to do what he wanted at the begining. so it's his first boxing match and it was hard for him to switch from what he wanted to do at first (boxing) to MMA.
ce genre de sportif ne peut pas perdre... parce qu'il tire partie de toute éventualité / bonne chance à cet homme discret qui ne se perd pas en paroles inutiles.
I hope Francis has a good showing. That by itself would be a victory. And I hope the money doesn't deplete his hunger for MMA supremacy. UFC heavyweights will want to fight Francis for that big win and that seven-figure payday in the PFL…sort of like when Fedor was lurking out there. Fighters left to pursue him. UFC champs like Lesnar and Couture wanted to fight him. So either more UFC heavyweights fight out their contracts to fight Francis, or they get paid better by the UFC. That's pretty cool. Francis is a hero to other fighters in MMA and that shouldn't be lost on any of us.
Right? Fury wouldn’t stand a chance in the golden era. Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, mike Tyson, riddick Howe, James toney, Roy jones jr… they would all make fury disappear like he never existed 😂
Ngannou is obviously a great fighter but hes going to be in the ring with an absolute master boxer in Tyson Fury. Tyson will be in complete control of the fight.
Nice interview. Funny how Bret didnt even entertain the topics wen we all know Francis was talkign about dana and the ufc in holding him back or "sabotaging." Hes like yea no im gonna keep going.
His Master Mike Tyson knows how to KO in within 4th round. I'm sure or CraZy! He knows the shortcuts and the strength. That could be done is his word..
From a fan of both MMA and Boxing. Who actually wants Ngannou to win because of Fury's antics. I believe he has as much power as Wilder, but with any hand and any shot. He's physically strong like Joshua. But all that muscle and power, not only becomes lessened in later rounds in MMA from what we've seen he strongly benefits from winning early although he's always dangerous he's less so as the fight goes on. But in Boxing with more rounds and just non stop punching and moving around on the feet, and lack of experience in Boxing will mean he'll gas out in like 4 - 6
Dude, his power is equal to ford escort launched at full speed. so imagine you have a car launched at 180km/h that hurt your arms ? so even when he is going to punch Fury's arms (or other parts of his body) it's going to hurt him... Believe me...
" I believe he has as much power as Wilder": I believe instead that Francis has way more power than Wilder. Look at his legs and the whole body structure
@@gibs2bdude that was ufc marketing to make him sound like a big bad wolf. Boxers fight in bigger gloves imagine them fighting in small gloves like mma😂 oof they’ll knockout anybody
Additional comment: Why has no previous HW boxer against FURY...tried NONSTOP to punch the 6'-9" FURY ...punch his guts out. If FRANCIS wanted to take FURY out...with gut shots...with all that power...he could. He would have to be willing to take punches..and focus on that big LONG solar plexus.
Fury establishes that lead hand very early and is active with it, it stops people coming in and hitting his body, if you get to the body you can definitely cut him down he had abused his body for years with alcohol and drugs
Rooting for Francis as the massive underdog but think he's falling into the same trap as other crossover fighters in trying to prove that they can box. Fury has seen it all let alone a novice style, fighting an mma fighter style maybe the only chance he has of landing that KO shot.
Fighting Fury is like fighting a Grizzly Bear with long arms. He is much larger than you, so he can take, and give, more damage. His reach is much larger, so he can hit you before you hit him. And he has the defense and footwork of a light-heavyweight. And when it doubt, he can just lean his 280 lbs on you, wearing you down. He doesn’t look like it, but he may be the perfect heavyweight fighter. How would you attack Tyson Fury?
Yep he comes across great. He's done fantastic. I can see why people would hold him as a role model. Good on him. But he isn't a boxer, I can't understand why anyone would watch this.
It's insane to me how the main event is the least competitive event on the card. We also need to see the number 1 ping pong player vs the number 1 tennis player in a game of ping pong 🤑
@@teacopem The undercard fights are more competitive than Fury and Ngannou. An MMA heavyweight fighting a boxing heavyweight in a boxing match is no different than a tennis player playing a ping pong player in a ping pong match. The tennis player can hit a ball hard too even if it's a ping pong ball.
It’s a win win for Francis he has losses on his mma record why not have a loss the the lineal king and if he goes out in style that will just elevate his boxing career by soo much
they should both walk out to the song "arab money" by busta rhymes i think matching him up with a boxer whos over the hill or even a retired boxer would have been more fun. give him wladimir klitschko or a guy like chisora. fury is going to jab his face off
Don’t you think this is a legacy fight ? Coming from where he come he is fighting the linéal heavy weight world champion ! And his story is not over . Just imagine him only having a competitive boxing match , where does that put him ? Remember It’s a heavyweight bout one punch landed can close the show !
Not necessarily a fan of Francis but I'm so happy for him. Obviously he doesn't stand a chance at boxing but he deserve to get that bag, his story alone is very inspiring so kudos for him. This is the type of money that will set him and his family up for life.
Tell me you’re naive without telling me you’re naive 🤦♂️ 😂 do you realize Francis started with boxing and wanted to become world champion before he got into the ufc? People just hear, “this is Francis first ever boxing match” and they think Francis never trained in boxing lol. Francis can box and will show it on fight night. Not saying he will beat fury for sure but saying he doesn’t have a chance is crazy
Why on earth are you happy for someone whom you don’t know, effectively a stranger, getting paid a stupid amount for a gimmick fight that is helping ruin the sport of boxing? Francis is already much more wealthy than the average person and he’s now getting paid an obscene amount for a product that is adding to the idiocracy of the modern world.
@@burdman1333maybe he can box but boxing is not MMA and he is fighting guy who is boxer all his life. Francis have one punch chance but the biggest problem will be his cardio. If he don't KO Fury in first 2-3 rounds he will be eaten by Fury.
@@NorthLondon-pm6xyfrancis has sparred takam and Joyce and both said he’s dangerous. That’s sparring too, maybe both could beat him, they’d both get beaten up by fury too. But in sparring he wouldn’t be as dangerous as he is in fights, because sparring is rarely you trying to kill the guy like the way francis fights. So he does have a punchers chance at least.
