The Future of Francis Ngannou: UFC Return or Boxing Match with Anthony Joshua?
TL;DR
Curtis Blaydes, who has faced Francis Ngannou twice previously, doesn’t expect “The Predator” to return to the UFC but believes he will get a boxing fight and make $10-15 million, which would make it hard for him to go back to the UFC. Ngannou has long desired the chance to cross over to boxing with potential matchups with heavyweights such as Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder. Despite the odds going against Ngannou beating one of the best heavyweights in boxing in his debut, Blaydes won’t completely count him out.
