Likewise, ‘The Cat’ requested the former UFC champion to be heedful of the way he fought Fury as he needed the British Boxer on December 23. Despite Usyk’s entreaty, Ngannou shocked the world as he knocked down Fury in a competitive fight. Likewise, ‘The Gypsy King’ ended the contest with a little scratch on his eye.

Francis Ngannou

FRANCIS NGANNOU Francis Ngannou: Net Worth 2024, Record, Stats &amp; More LAS VEGAS, NEVADA &#8211; MARCH 27: Francis Ngannou of Cameroon reacts after his victory over Stipe Miocic in their UFC heavyweight championship fight during the UFC 260 event at UFC APEX on March 27, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Who is Francis Ngannou? Francis Ngannou is one of the scariest heavyweights on the planet. &#8220;The Predator&#8221; is known for his insane knockouts of top-ranked heavyweights in the UFC. Not only does Francis knock them out, but he also knocks them out early. It&#8217;s been ten years since Cameroon-born Francis Xavier Ngannou became a professional mixed martial arts fighter. The aspiring boxer, who made his pro-boxing debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 28 October 2023, entered the octagon for the first time on November 30, 2013, and two years later joined UFC, where he remained for the next eight years. Now, he prepares for his next fight against two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on March 8, again in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Early Life Francis Ngannou was born September 5, 1986, in a village in Batie, Cameroon. The information regarding his education or schooling remains limited. According to a website, he had to walk for about two hours to attend a school six miles from his residence. Another portal even mentioned him switching at least five schools. Anyhow, he started working in a sand quarry at age ten. As almost every fan and follower might be aware, though he could easily converse in French, over the years, Ngannou learned English as well. A few years ago, Ngannou had shared a beautiful photo of his family, three brothers, and a sister, standing around their mother, Mamma Ngannou, who divorced her husband, Emmanuel Fosso, when the future UFC Heavyweight champion was barely six. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Girlfriend The 37-year-old fighter remains a bachelor and, per available reports, doesn&#8217;t seem to be dating anyone. However, according to a July article in The Sun, UK Edition, there were rumors that he was seeing former UFC Bantamweight champion Meisha Tate, but that remains unconfirmed. Recently, there have been rumors of Kim Kardashian supposedly looking to woo the Cameroonian-French Heavyweight. Adding fuel to the fire is Ngannou&#8217;s recent suggestive exchanges on Kim Kardashian&#8217;s social media posts. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Net Worth 2024 According to the celebrity net worth, the 37-year-old Cameroonian-French fighter has, over the years, amassed a wealth that hovers in the vicinity of $5 million. Hence, it would be fair to assume that participation in the UFC contests would have formed the lion&#8217;s share of his lifetime earnings. MMA: UFC 270-Ngannou vs Gane, Jan 22, 2022 Anaheim, California, USA Francis Ngannou speaks with media following his championship victory at UFC 270 at Honda Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports, 22.01.2022 00:01:41, 17551666, NPStrans, Francis Ngannou, Honda Center, MMA PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xGaryxA.xVasquezx 17551666 There seems to be no unanimity over his take home from the MMA fights alone. While MMA Salaries cites around $3,779,500, The Sports Lite mentions around $4,179,000. Thus, averaging it at $4,000,000 would make his annual income during the eight years he was with the UFC makes it $500,000. Anyhow, according to a January article on GiveMeSport, the annual salary of Francis Ngannou varied as follows:  2015 $25,000  2016 $175,000  2017 $220,000  2018 $900,000  2019 $525,000  2020 $320,000  2021 $900,000  2022 $1,200,000  Let&#8217;s look at some of the critical paydays of Ngannou&#8217;s career. It included his base salary, the bonus for winning, and the sponsorship deal and share in the PPV subscriptions: Versus Luis Henrique, December 2015 &#8211; For his first fight under the UFC banner, Francis Ngannou took home approximately $22,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Curtis Blaydes, April 2016 &#8211; $26,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Bojan Mihajlovic, July 2016 &#8211; $30,500 (no performance bonus)  Versus Anthony Hamilton, December 2016 &#8211; $124,500 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Andrei Arlovski, January 2017 &#8211; $128,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Alistair Overeem, December 2017 &#8211; $90,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Stipe Miocic, January 2018 &#8211; $530,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Derrick Lewis, July 2018 &#8211; $105,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Curtis Blaydes II, November 2018 &#8211; $255,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Cain Velasquez, February 2019 &#8211; $225,000 (no performance bonus)  Versus Junior Dos Santos, June 2019 &#8211; $300,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Jairzinho Rozenstruik, May 2020 &#8211; $320,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Stipe Miocic II, March 2021 &#8211; $580,000 (performance bonus $50,000)  Versus Cyril Gane, January 2022 &#8211; $1,042,000 (PPV earnings $400,000) It would be imprudent to conclude that Francis Ngannou made his fortune entirely through mixed martial arts bouts. A close perusal across portals reveals that The Predator could have had or still has endorsement deals with Cryo Pain Relief, CBD Research Labs, Gym King Fight Division, and The Fight Game. According to Forbes, Francis Ngannou invested in the healthy snack brand PeaTos two years ago. The move made him one of the minority stakeholders in the company. Credits &#8211; Imago Finally, after his exit from the UFC this year, the Predator signed up with the Professional Fighters League, where he might receive as much as $4 million for each fight. Additionally, benefits such as chairmanship of the franchise&#8217;s African promotions and greater involvement in the athletic advisory board also appear in the offing. In contrast to his entire MMA career, sources suggest that the Cameroonian-French hard hitter will earn much more in his boxing stints. His debut in the fight format against the WBC champion,Â Tyson Fury,Â solidified his name in the heavyweight division. That Riyadh fight alone earned him a jaw-dropping $10 million, his highest paycheck ever. Through it all, his current estimated net worth in 2024 stands at an impressive $15 million (approx). For his upcoming fight against AJ, Ngannou is guaranteed to take home about $2o million, which will make his net worth significantly higher in the coming days. Francis Ngannouâ€™s MMA and Boxing Career Timeline It might be interesting for many to know that Francis Ngannou&#8217;s initial interest in combat sports remained boxing. He had always been a Mike Tyson fan. However, during his stay in Paris, France, he met another Cameroonian-French mixed martial arts fighter and now coach, Fernand Lopez Owonyebe, at his MMA Factory gym. The latter introduced him to the nuances and scope of MMA, besides allowing him to stay at the gym. By 2013, Francis Ngannou was ready and launched his professional career on November 30. The bout occurred under the French promotion 100% Fight: Contenders 20. Ngannou was on a ten-fight win streak before he faced the UFC heavyweight champion,Â Stipe Miocic. He had obliterated his previous opponents with T/KO&#8217;s and submissions. &#8216;The Predator&#8217; has one of the most devastating knockouts in the UFC againstÂ Alistair Overeem. With a resume like that, Ngannou was next in line to be the heavyweight champion. However, during his title fight against Miocic, Ngannou got overconfident, and it exposed many holes in his game. It took some effort for Ngannou to recover from the loss. His next fight with Derrick Lewis lacked action. He lost to &#8216;The Black Beast&#8217; by a unanimous decision. Many people thought Ngannou was done. However, he made an incredible comeback in his next fight against Curtis Blaydes, followed by his wins over UFC legend Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. &#8216;The Predator&#8217; has put together a 10-2Â recordÂ in the UFC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLqyRdwDzBQ&amp;ab_channel=UFC Let&#8217;s look at some of the big fights he participated in during the last five years: Versus Ciryl Gane, January 22, 2022: Francis Ngannou defeated fellow French fighter Ciryl Gane during the second title defense in Anaheim, California, unanimously.  Versus Stipe Miocic, March 27, 2021: The Predatory became the UFC Heavyweight champion, knocking out the Miocic with punches in the second round. The bout, additionally, fetched him the Performance of the Night award. The fight was equally crucial since it was the second time Ngannou and Miocic were squaring up. The first meet-up ended in a loss for the Cameroonian-French fighter&#8217;s loss. Versus Alistair Overeem, December 2, 2017: One of Francis Ngannou&#8217;s most well-recognized fights. He knocked out the dreaded, hard-hitting kickboxer Alistair Overeem with a bone-cracking left hook in the first round. It was a title eliminator that enabled him to challenge Stipe Miocic the following year. Versus Anthony Hamilton, December 9, 2016: Three years after his professional debut in the mixed martial arts world, the first-round win over the American Hamilton fetched Ngannou&#8217;s first Performance of the Night award. Given that he always wanted to try boxing before taking up mixed martial arts, The Predator finally received a chance to make a name for himself in the squared circle. Ngannou took on the undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in a professional boxing match billed as &#8220;Battle of the Baddest&#8221; on October 28, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Ngannou was able to knock down Fury in the third round, taking the fight all the way to the scorecards, in which the judges awarded Fury the victory in a controversial split decision (95â€“94, 96â€“93, 94â€“95). According to CompuBox, Fury outlanded Ngannou 71 to 59 in total punches, while Ngannou outlanded Fury 37 to 32 in power punches. Now, he takes on Anthony Joshua in the second match of his pro-boxing career. WATCH: Insane 20-Second Knockout by Francis Ngannou Stuns UFC 249 Francis Ngannouâ€™s Contract Though Francis Ngannou and the UFC went their separate ways in late 2022, the issues broke out a few years ago. So problems arose with The Predator facing his second career loss at the hands of Stipe Miocic in 2018. Reportedly, UFC boss Dana White was very unhappy with the outcome because the franchise considered him one of the biggest stars in the making. The reversal resulted in Francis Ngannou waiting nearly three years to receive the next shot at the UFC Heavyweight championship. But the problems persisted despite him becoming a champion as he was given marching orders to defend his titles in August of that year. Given the short time gap, Ngannou requested that the fight be postponed to September, and finally, the second title defense came about in January of 2022. Additionally, The Predator had raised concerns regarding fighter&#8217;s pay and providing other benefits such as health insurance. The two sides disagreed with his contract with the franchise ending by December 2022. Finally, the UFC passed over his one-year matching rights clause. It rendered Francis Ngannou a free agent as a result. After B.J. Penn in 2004, he became the second only champion to move out of the fight promotions company. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s Deal with the PFL On May 16, 2023, it was announced that Ngannou had signed a multi-fight deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He will be competing in their pay-per-view &#8220;super fight&#8221; division, while still being free to compete in other sports such as boxing. Ngannou also negotiated on behalf of his opponents, guaranteeing them to be paid at least $2 million. He will also be a part of PFL&#8217;s global advisory board, meant to advocate for fighters&#8217; interests, and an equity owner and chairman of the upcoming PFL Africa league. On February 22, 2024, it was announced that Ngannou would make his MMA return sometime this year against Renan Ferreira, the Heavyweight PFL winner of the PFL vs. Bellator event on February 24, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Francis Ngannouâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements Ngannou hasÂ endorsedÂ Gym King Fight Division, CBD Research Labs,Â Cryo Pain Relief, and The Fight Game. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s relationship with Mike Tyson It was early in August 2023 when news came that Francis Ngannou would team up with the youngest Heavyweight champion in boxing history, Mike Tyson, to prepare him for the big fight against Tyson Fury. According to the former UFC Heavyweight champion, who always idolized the former Heavyweight champion, the two were already in talks since they first met in the latter&#8217;s podcast, Hotboxin with Mike Tyson. About their partnership, Mike Tyson said, &#8220;It&#8217;s no secret I back Ngannou 100 percent in this face-off of champions. He has one hard punch, and when it lands, it&#8217;s game over. I am looking forward to working with Ngannou and supporting his transition from the Octagon to the boxing ring.&#8221; Even though Francis Ngannou doesn&#8217;t have any real-time boxing experience except for his match against Tyson Fury, during his tenure with UFC and 100% Fight earlier, he built a formidable reputation as one of the planet&#8217;s foremost punchers.

It is noteworthy that Ngannou is the hardest puncher in the UFC. Francis Ngannou: Achievements The fighter holds a stellar record ofÂ 17-3-0 in his MMA career and 0-1 in his boxing career. Ngannou has won five Performance of the Night bonuses against Anthony Hamilton, Andrei Arlovski, Curtis Blaydes, and Junior dos Santos. Ngannou&#8217;s knockout against Alistair Overeem earnedÂ him the Knockout of the Year Award. Francis Ngannou&#8217;s car collection and other luxuries For a sports celebrity with a net worth of $5 million, Francis Ngannou must have an enviable collection of automobiles in his garage.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Who is Tyson Fury?</b></h2>
The man whom everyone in the boxing circuit regards as the 'Gypsy King' was born on the 12th of August in 1988. Tyson was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/inside-the-comeback-story-of-tyson-fury-the-undefeated-gypsy-king-who-overcame-a-depression-and-shed-112-pounds-to-be-heavyweight-champion-of-the-world-twice/articleshow/74344114.cms">born</a> 3 months before schedule, coming in at a mere 1lb. His chances of survival were extremely low.

However, he survived. His father named him after the legendary Mike Tyson. The Englishman followed in his American namesake and <a href="https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/27680">father</a>'s footsteps into the boxing ring.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Tyson Fury's family and early life</strong></h2>
Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children - Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth.

Tyson Fury's father, John Fury, was previously married to Amber Fury. They had four children - Tyson, his brother Shane Fury, a Heavyweight boxer, and Hugh Fury. The fourth child, Ramona Fury, sadly passed away a few months after her birth.

Through John Fury's second marriage to Chantal, who has Mauritian ancestry, Tyson Fury is a half-brother to Tommy Fury, Roman Fury, a Cruiserweight contender, and John Fury Jr., reportedly an amateur boxer.

'The Gypsy King' was born on 12th August 1988. He grew up in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester, England. From an early age, he showed an aptitude for boxing. Hailing from an Irish traveling family, and a long bloodline of fighters, some would say Tyson choosing the 'sweet science' as his profession was inevitable. He began boxing at the age of ten, thriving under the guidance of his father. With John Fury championing him, Tyson did quite well in his amateur career. He became the EU Junior Champion in May 2007 and ABA national champion in 2008, before turning professional at the age of 20.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s wife and children</b></h2>
Tyson Fury and his wife, Paris Fury's fairytale romance, began during their teenage years when he was seventeen and she was fifteen. Finally, in 2008, roughly a year after they started going out, the future Heavyweight champion and Paris walked down the aisle together at the Catholic church in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, St. Peter in Chains.

During the last fifteen years of togetherness, the couple have become proud parents of four boys and three girls. Their eldest child is 13-year-old Venezuela. She is followed by Prince John James, who is eleven.

Born in July 2016, Prince Tyson II is the couple's third child. 5-year-old Valencia, Tyson Fury's second daughter, follows him. She would be turning six by December of this year. In 2019, The Gypsy King and Paris Fury welcomed their fifth child, their third son, Prince Adonis Amaziah, who is 4 years old.

Two months before the Deontay Wilder trilogy fight, Tyson Fury introduced his sixth child and third daughter, Athena, to the world. The youngest member of the Fury family turned two in August this year.

Last month, on September 18, Tyson and Paris Fury welcomed the birth of their seventh child, a baby boy. Early this month, the proud parents shared his name with the world - Prince Rico Paris Fury.
<p style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s net worth 2024</b></p>
Money has never been at the top of Fury's mind. However, no one in their right mind will turn incoming big bucks down. Fury's net worth is estimated to be $65 million in 2023.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Fury made his professional debut in December 2008. He took on Bela Gyongyosi in his first outing as a professional. The preliminary card bout ended with Fury dropping his Hungarian opponent in the first round with a lethal combination to the head and the body.

After winningÂ  English, British, and Commonwealth titles, Tyson Fury, with his rangy and unorthodox fighting style, reached the top of the heavyweight division in 2015 after defeating the 11-year unbeaten Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko to become the unified world heavyweight champion. However following his win over Klitschko, he struggled with depression forcing him to take a hiatus of three years.

He came back in action in 2018, notching up easy wins against Sefer Seferi and Francesco Pianeta. In the same year, he also drew a fight for the first time against<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/deontay-wilder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Deontay Wilder</a>. However, his stupefying performance earned him a rematch. He won the WBC title after having bulldozed through Deontay Wilder in 2020. This saw him become a two-time world heavyweight champion.

Moreover, Fury added another spectacular victory to his resume by defeating Wilder in their highly anticipated trilogy fight in October 2021. After 10 rounds of war, 'The Gypsy King' finally put his rivalry with the 'Bronze Bomber' to rest via T/KO in the 11th round.

After beating Wilder, Fury demolished longtime WBC mandatory challenger <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dillian Whyte</a> on April 23, 2022. And in December, he defended his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora in a trilogy showdown.

'The Gypsy King' has amassed an astonishing record of 24 wins by T/KO in 34 professional fights.

Then came the mega clash between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. This highly anticipated bout came months after fans and followers learned of the Cameroonian-American mixed martial artist's departure from UFC.

In a shocking display, Tyson was barely able to defeat <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/francis-ngannou/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francis Ngannou</a> as the former was even made to taste the canvas by the MMA sensation. The crossover boxing bout made a huge dent in Fury's reputation, even though he secured a split-decision victory.

He is currently set to face Oleksandr Usyk for an undisputed heavyweight fight.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Â </span><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
Per <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/tyson-fury/?sh=4b6b3cd331d3">Forbes</a>, Fury earns a substantial amount through endorsements alone. One of his major sponsors has been <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/tyson-fury">Wow Hydrate</a>. However, Fury also has his line of <a href="https://tysonfuryofficialmerchandise.com/">merchandise</a> and energy drink called Furocity.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s Career Stats and Record</b></h2>
Tyson Fury is an undefeated heavyweight champion. His boxing record stands at 34-0-1. He has a knockout ratio of 70.59%.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Â Tyson Furyâ€™s charity and foundation</b></h2>
Philanthropy comes to Tyson Fury as naturally as a jab or a hook. He is well known to open up his heart and wallet to the less fortunate and in need. Following his first fight against Deontay Wilder, Fury claimed to have <a href="https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/491322/tyson-fury-news-gypsy-king-worth-deontay-wilder-purse-charity-rematch/">donated</a> his entire fight purse to charitable organizations in the UK. This was because he wanted to direct the finances toward the construction of homes for alcohol and drug addicts.

In another incident in 2022, after fight negotiations with Anthony Joshua collapsed, Furyâ€™s promoter Frank Warren had to pay up <span style="font-weight: 400">after losing a bet against the â€™Gypsy Kingâ€™. Fury was convinced that Joshua wouldnâ€™t sign the dotted line and ended up staking Â£10,000. Eventually, he ended up donating his winnings from the bet to a charity called DEBRA which looks after people suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa - a painful genetic skin blister condition.</span>

Tyson Fury also has his <a href="https://mtkglobal.com/mtk-global/fury-announces-tyson-fury-foundation/">foundation</a> called the Tyson Fury Foundation.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tyson Furyâ€™s house</b></h2>
The WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has spent a fortune on buying properties spread across Europe as well as the United States. Starting with his home base, Morecambe, UK, Fury has a Â£1.7m property overlooking the seaside. The sprawling mansion, which features heavily in the Netflix documentaryÂ  <strong>At Home With The Furys,</strong> is decked up with gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters, and a grand piano. The property also boasts a water fountain and a mini-playground with the "Gypsy King" logo painted on the floor.

Reportedly, Tyson Fury moved into the mansion with his family from a five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home, estimated to be worth around Â£550,000, in 2021. This property also had lavish decorations which included gold curtains, and a gold-framed Versace mirror. Moreover, Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action, and a trophy cabinet adorned the walls of the beautiful home.

Another acquisition befitting Fury's luxury lifestyle is the white-cobbled mansion in Marbella estimated to be worth around $ 6 Million. According to the Mirror, the luxurious property has columns, large windows, and loads of palm trees.

Last but not least, is his stunning mansion in Las Vegas, which is used by the Fury family when the â€˜Gypsy Kingâ€™ comes to fight in the United States.Â  Reportedly, Fury allows his coach to live in that property rent-free.

His boxing record stands at 34-0-1. He has a knockout ratio of 70.59%. Â Tyson Furyâ€™s charity and foundation Philanthropy comes to Tyson Fury as naturally as a jab or a hook. He is well known to open up his heart and wallet to the less fortunate and in need. Following his first fight against Deontay Wilder, Fury claimed to have donated his entire fight purse to charitable organizations in the UK. This was because he wanted to direct the finances toward the construction of homes for alcohol and drug addicts. In another incident in 2022, after fight negotiations with Anthony Joshua collapsed, Furyâ€™s promoter Frank Warren had to pay up after losing a bet against the â€™Gypsy Kingâ€™. Fury was convinced that Joshua wouldnâ€™t sign the dotted line and ended up staking Â£10,000. Eventually, he ended up donating his winnings from the bet to a charity called DEBRA which looks after people suffering from Epidermolysis Bullosa &#8211; a painful genetic skin blister condition. Tyson Fury also has his foundation called the Tyson Fury Foundation.
