Francis Ngannou On Fury, Joshua, Ronaldo And Those MMA Rumours

Francis Ngannou is not just a study in how one man can rise to the top of MMA in the space of a few years, but also in how to maintain an endearing humility while doing it. The Cameroonian-French fighter was born into abject poverty, but decided to follow his boxing dream to Europe as a migrant. After months of rough sleeping and prison stays, Ngannou found a home in a French boxing gym where he trained and slept. The rest, as they say, is history.

While he happily recounts his past to Piers Morgan, the Ngannou of today is looking toward to the future more and more. He says he still has challenges and constantly asks himself 'what's next?' In particular, he wants to start a business in his beloved Africa and has some advice for young men who look up to him.
