The proud son of Cameroon – Francis Ngannou

After ‘The Predator’ won his match, we saw incredible scenes of jubilation in his hometown of Batie, Cameroon.

People there were jumping, dancing and celebrating their countryman winning the championship.

During an interview, Ngannou said that he intends to put the title belt in a public place in Cameroon, so that people can see it and get inspired by the success of one of their own.

In a video that Oscar Willis posted on his twitter account, we can hear Ngannou talking about the same, “I was thinking, I was saying maybe we gonna find a place, a public place in Cameroon and put it there.”

Ngannou got quite emotional while talking about how it is tough to grow up in a situation which is not financially stable, however he also talked about the fact that it is not your fault that you didn’t have basic necessities. One can only work hard and give his best, and provide a better furture for themselves.

“It’s not your fault that you don’t have shoes. It’s not your fault that you don’t have a pen or something. So Just keep moving.” Ngannou said.

In 2018, Ngannou had lost his fight against Miocic and then had to wait 3 years to get a shot at the title. Since then it has been a tough journey for ‘The Predator’ but he has finally got his reward.

Ngannou himself had hard beginnings, and his decision to keep his championship belt in public is that of someone who is a staunch champion inside and outside the ring.
