After taking an exit from the UFC, Francis Ngannou has been caught up with the world of boxing. While the talks of Jon Jones and Tyson Fury fighting each other have enhanced the fans’ entropy, the world simply cannot disregard the matchup between Fury and Ngannou. 

During UFC Vegas 74 press conference, Dana White offered Fury to have a fight with Jones inside the Octagon. However, ‘The Predator’ later claimed that Fury wanted different things and that he would never land in the MMA cage. Later, ‘The Gypsy King’ confirmed White’s hybrid offer. In a conversation with ‘MMA Fighting’, the Cameroonian fighter opened up on the offer White extended to Fury.

In a recent talk with ‘MMA Fighting’, the former UFC heavyweight champion declared that his team has been engaged with Fury’s team to get a fight confirmed. Although the fight hasn’t been confirmed yet, the fighter seemed confident regarding it. He said, “We are not there yet. But yes, we are in a conversation.”

Soon after that, Ngannou was asked about his opinion on the hybrid offer that the UFC president extended towards Fury, for fighting ‘Bones’. Without a doubt, the Cameroonian warrior was not happy about it. He claimed that the UFC did nothing of sorts during the time he was in the promotion. However, as soon as he left, Jones got the chance to fight Fury in MMA. He further declared that, although everyone was trying to take him down, he was going to stand tall.
