All About Ngannou’s Mother

‘The Predator’ is an icon for many reasons. He gives a lot of appreciation to his mother for what he is today.

The heavyweight fighter has lived a life of extreme poverty and close to little formal education. He used to work as a coal miner because of a lack of money. His parents got divorced at an early age, and his mother single-handedly raised him and all his siblings. As Ngannou grew up, he decided to pursue boxing as his professional career and wanted to make it big in this sport.

His mother has always been the backbone for him and has always supported him in his endeavors. The fighter has a really close bond with his mother. In one of the interviews, this is what his mother said:- “He grew up here with me, and I’m still happy to have him over at home.”
