He also reinforced how important it is for him to win the bout against Tyson Fury. ‘The Predator’ said, “Yeah, there’s a potential rematch clause. I don’t know exactly how to explain that language, but yes, there is a rematch inside it. For (if I win), definitely. (If he beats me), that’s what I don’t know. We will see how it goes. That’s why I have to win this fight. I have to do everything to get that rematch.“

According to YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul, Ngannou would earn a whopping $10 million for their initial match. The amount might go up if he manages to achieve a glorious victory against Fury.
