“Your blessings triple when you have gratitude” -Mike Tyson

If Francis's journey doesn't inspire you in any kind of way, I'm pretty sure nothing ever will.

Ngannou is a resilient warrior, still can’t believe he knocked Fury on his first professional boxing match

Jesus christ. The story of the life of this man needs a movie

He is a prime example of a stoic, and a gentle giant. Freedom and justice are core values for him. He won’t compromise them for money, which means he cannot be bribed. He also clearly doesn’t like bullies, and bullying (no wonder he and Dana clash). He doesn’t like to talk trash and is clearly outside his comfort zone when he tries to. It’s just not him. Does he have an ego? Of course. But a healthy, humble one. Not a pompous one. It is very rare to find a human being that exudes so many qualities in a single package - calm confidence, intelligence, incredible physical abilities, the technical skills of hand-to-hand combat, and virtuous qualities like compassion. It’s why no one is worrying that Francis will get corrupted by the money or fame like so many men have. What he had to go through and saw in his life was enough darkness, and he knows better. This is what makes him different from the Jon Jones and Conor McGregors of the world, who easily let themselves slip to vices. Can’t wait to see what the next chapter in Francis’s life will look like, but it’s full of amazing possibilities. Maybe even an acting career? He seems like a quick study in anything he puts his mind to. Imagine that...

Francis is the definition of "How bad do you want it?" Dude made it, now he can support his family forreal!

The reason Francis is so special and such a force to reckon with is because he’s been thru more hardships and roadblocks even before he got into his fighting career. The stuff he deals with now is like a picnic compared to what he’s had to deal with in his past

Francis has opened mma gym’s in Cameroon, to give his home town kids the chance to better themselves like he has. He is truly a great guy. Amazing fighter too.

Francis would've been a king or a conqueror if he was born 1,000 years ago. The man is a warrior and there's just something special about him in both mind and body.

This man gives me such hope for humanity. A man that all men can look up to and aspire to be like. Every time I’m in my boxing class and I’m gassed out and want to quit during endurance training, I think of Ngannou, and the warrior’s path that he followed to be here today. He gives me strength. Shout out to Mike Tyson as well. Both of them heroes.

He wasn’t suppose to make it but defied all the odds…the man is a living legend

im Algerian and hes right we have the largest and most dangerous desert in the world, for him to cross and survive you know god was on his side, nice guy from good family, deserves all the success

Props to tyson fury you changed this mans life regardless of what happened in the fight you had a part to play in uplifting another person by providing a platform

Francis is like a saint who moves quietly amongst us. In these dark times his good conduct shines like a star, Thank Mr Ngannou you are an inspiration to all.

Ngannou’s journey in life in itself is truly amazing, and he’s proving time and time again that he has it. A people’s champ.

I’m going to teach my future kids the story of Francis Ngannou! He is the epitome of self determination and stoicism! He is a King! 🤴🏿

This is what makes tough people. I will root for him in whatever endeavor he strives toward. Win or Lose.

Francis officially had THE hardest background in combat sports. This ain’t no growing up in the hood, favelas, crime, etc etc. this shit is international and scraps

Nganou is freak of the muscle and strength he has given by God

How can you not love and and admire this man. His biography will be timeless.

Francis has become a great inspiration. Let's not forget that his mother did well bringing him up like this.

What a great man to aspire to be like

Some people are just born stoic, some of us have to learn to be stoic

Francis’s english since this interview has improved tremendously.

This was so great. Very good narrating. As you said, the story of Francis deserves to be made in a movie.

Nganou need a big budget hollywood movie about him !

It is hilarious AF to think about that this is the GUY who the ufc and particularly Dana white try to literally removed him from the history books ... Hilarious AF

Im so glad someone noticed how Stoic Francis is, not just in the cliche "no emotion" front, rather the more substantial concepts and practices of Stoicism. --- Francis embodies Stoicism, from not caring what others say about him, to focusing on what he can control, to always striving to improve and learn... Francis is amazing, man 👊👊

This is one of the most inspiring stories I’ve ever heard. Humbles my soul

Just know that society is so messed up and people are so negative that if he got KOd by Fury early, people would’ve tried to make out that he was a failure. What this man has done is amazing.

This video inspired me to reach out to his foundation and offer my help and experience. Thank you for sharing his story.

Can't believe I never had the bandwidth to truly learn about the truly inspirational tale of Francis Ngannou, despite being a UFC fan. What he did with Fury was remarkable, adding another chapter to an incredible story. Inspired, moved and humbled. How can he not be a new favourite fighter? Special man. Hard times make strong men. I will follow his career closely from now on and support him passionately. Quality video and content, props.

This is one of the greatest sporting stories of all time. There is no comprehension by an entitled westerner including myself about what kind of spirit you must need to have to endure that and become what N’gannou has become.

I don't know him personally but he seems like a gentle guy... And his accent also suggests that 😂. Anyway i think he deserve it... All the blessings that he got

This man deserve a movie

He is already a legend in my eyes! Great athlete and quality human being.

this man is incredible role model to all humans his humbleness is beautiful

Francis Ngannou is an inspiration and blessing to humanity ❤️💯✊🏿

This will definitely blow up soon. Good work man. 🖤

his warrior status comes more from his virtue than his physical strength... being strong is one thing but knowing how to properly handle... and use it to the benefit of others is something entirely different

Become the person you needed but never showed up. Become the hero who shows up! The best thing a man can be.

I’ve always been a Boxing fan and don’t really like UFC so naturally I never heard of Ngannou. But now I know him and he has gained my full respect not just as a Boxer but as a human being. He is a great human being and it’s a privilege to be able to see him join the boxing community and become the next Heavyweight champion of the world in not too distant future.

A film about his story would be incredible. It's just who would be able to play him, he's so unique.

Personality-wise, Francis Ngannou is the antithesis of Conor McGregor.

Never really followed MMA, so Ngannou was a new name to me, but what an amazing achievement. Usyk has consistent grace as well, but Ngannou is bullet proof.

What a man! His story is unreal. To come from such adversity and to stay so humble with everything he has achieved is so admirable. Total respect.

It's crazy to see how much power is inside the mind of a person.. He went through some of the hardest times any human being could go through he rose above it all chasing a dream to become a boxer after watching Mike tyson.. along his journey he became a mma champion to then finally step in the ring as a boxer after being trained by the man he was inspired by .. people say the power of manifestation is in the mind of the person .. all he had to do was quit n he would have failed.. its an unbelievable story and it just shows you what people are truly capable of if they really want it

Amazing. Sent chills down my couch.

"You cant even ask them, they are still knocked out"- Mike Tyson. Best line of the Video 😅

Ngannou is a real champion. A real inspiration. If he can become a success with his background, then we all should be able to... But you can't teach heart. Very proud of this man.

Francis is a modern day Sounjata Keita . The man who had all odd against him but become one of the best Emperor Africa had

A movie on Ngannou's life journey will be amazing.

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

Francis gives you faith in humanity

He speaks nicely He comes across as very calm person

This is why he’s got a very fierce but calm demeanour

May he live a long life and be blessed Mr. Ngannou

A true hero. A true role model.

You would think that a man who has been through what Francis has been through would be arrogant and mean, but this guy is just so humble and soft-spoken. A gentle giant. Real tough men don't act tough.

Francis is one of the greatest examples of what to aspire to be for young men. Becoming an absolute monster with a heart of gold and a stoic mind. He is a real life hero to us all.

This is great and I'd be very interested to watch a full documentary of his life story and struggles in the style that you did in the first few minutes of the video.

Mike Tyson can be so hilarious 😂. The last part where he said Ngannou hits so hard and "... You can't ask them 'cos they're still knocked out." 😂😂😂

one of the best videos i’ve ever seen

Actually, Fury didn't disrespect Francis as an individual. Fury opened the door for Francis.

I love his journey. It's so inspiring. Not giving up on his dreams when challenges came. More power to you Francis Ngannou. God bless you and all your loved ones 🙏🏿

Francis Ngannou is a true Champion! Fury could learn a few things, both in and out of the ring, from Ngannou.

I guess that’s why he’s so good at fighting. No matter what you do this isn’t even going to be close to the worst experience he handled already

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched, thank you brother for that content.

A Francis film would be a blockbuster, all the ingredients are in. What a man!

Shout out to that gym owner who let him train for free before anyone knew who he was, he had no idea how much that would benefit all of combat sports.

He finna be on top of the world in boxing, that fight was just a warm up of just what he is capable of and training he bout to go through. His tenacity in this sport is very high and will only get higher.

agreed, we need a movie (or mini series) of this warrior

I like him cause he's a good person at heart, i can tell.

What a Beautiful video man, the commentary, music, images. thank you for this type of content

Ngannou is an incredible human being in all aspects.

Man is not a stoic. He’s just great

Glad to have found your channel and video it blows up. Awesome work.

Huge respect to Ngannou

Francis N’Gannou is the greatest fighter EVER!! Been fighting in real life not only in the cages or boxing ring.

❤Thank you for this video. It made me cry. I emulate to be humble, successful and stoic like Francis Nganu. I'm grateful for everything in my life. I'll never take anything for granted

Thank you for the video. I've already watched the hour long documentary but this was still valuable, learned a few things. Went straight into your video about Mike Tyson's philosophy.

My man. Love your thumbnails. Also, love Stoicism, obviously. Thanks for the work you do

Great video, I was saying this all along, the amount of struggle this man went through, he deserves everything. And very likable human being as well, humble and honest. What a story, just an unbelievable story.
