Francis Ngannou stated that UFC threatened to sue him for allegedly being in talks for a boxing match with Jake Paul and his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian. However, ‘The Problem Child’ has denied having any communications with the UFC heavyweight champion.

The Cameroon-born fighter has been expressing his interest in competing inside the boxing ring for a long time. He has also been openly calling out Tyson Fury for a boxing match. However, the fight never came to fruition, as Ngannou is still under with the UFC.

‘The Predator’, who is yet to sign a new deal with UFC, has demanded a pay raise and a boxing match add-on to his contract. While White dismissed his demands, Paul was backing him. Hence, many speculate that Ngannou will sign a deal with the YouTuber.

But Paul, in an interview with Ariel Helwani, said, “What is happening is that the UFC realizes like we are these flies, creating havoc. We haven’t had any communication with them. It’s hilarious what am I gonna do. Hey Francis, wanna fight? Like Francis would squash me.”

“So the fact that they think we are talking to them, it just shows Dana is insecure in finding any way to come after us. Most valuable promotions, Nakisa, me, Francis, anyone who is sort of going against his narrative and what he wants to do.”

“But he should really be going after Bob Arum and Tyson Fury. They’re the ones who are saying like let’s do a fight. We will fight Francis. I never said anything like this.”
