“People Are Already Forgetting About Him..” – MMA World Left in Disbelief After Reports of Free Agent Francis Ngannou Moving to Misfit Boxing Airs

It has been a couple of months since Francis Ngannou left the UFC following a long contract negotiation that did not work out. He wanted to venture into boxing while also being an active MMA fighter. ‘The Predator’ seems to have found himself a promotion where he may debut his boxing career. He is reportedly in talks with Misfits Boxing to fight under their banner.

Francis Ngannou was the UFC heavyweight champion before relinquishing the title following the failure in contract negations with Dana White‘s promotion. He was determined to fight Tyson Fury. However, nothing has materialized with that as of now. But his name has the potential to draw a considerable amount of viewers for Misfits Boxing.

Francis Ngannou is in talks with Misfits Boxing

‘The Predator’ was one of the most dominant fighters in the UFC until his departure. After his exit, there were reports of him and former boxing world champion, Deontay Wilder, engaging in a two-fight deal. We are yet to know how that will pan out. But now, Ngannou might just start fighting in the crossover boxing promotion.

Misfits Boxing is the brainchild of YouTuber -boxer KSI, as he partnered up with Kalle Sauerland, who owns Wasserman Promotions. It has featured many fights, including clashes between professional boxers and YouTubers. It was only launched in the latter half of last year. So it is too early to judge how this move for Francis Ngannou will pan out. There have been a lot of fans who reacted to this news on social media.

There were a lot of fans who felt surprised after learning this news. They even hilariously suggested that Francis Ngannou fight in the Power Slap League. Some believed that ‘The Predator’s fighting career is being mismanaged. The UFC fans claim that he was never a draw in the promotion and that people are slowly forgetting about him after Jon Jones‘ impressive performance at UFC 285.
