His life story is truly epic. From the very bottom to the highest possible fight you can get in combat sports. Good luck, Champ 💪
He illegally immigrated from Africa to France. That isn't inspiring its a crime.
He literally served time for doing it
No. That would actually be fighting Jon Jones. That wad a much bigger fight. And Jon excepted that contract last april
@@earthling3650 exactly
@@earthling3650Jon Jones had his opportunity for three years. He came back as soon as Francis left
@@deinojohnson1638don’t most😭??? who gaf my guy COMEBACK STORY😊
Ngannou has that, “im gettin paid” smile the whole interview
Hopefully he does not have brain damage so he can enjoy spending it. It’s not like he will be getting punched by Mayweather like McGregor did. Those are not really that hard. Francis will be getting punched by the best heavyweight on earth. Tyson hits very hard. I really hope Tyson holds back. Once he realizes it’s going to be easy. I really like Francis I hope he comes out of this healthy.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily yea, I really like Francis. I dont think tyson will go full on or will pretend to get hurt after a win to avoid Usyk. To already schedule his next fight against arguably the best heavyweight, is giving people, this is a money grab show. Response from Francis makes it even more concerning
@@youtubeconnollyfamily Fury hits hard, but not Wilder hard; not Francis hard either
lol
@@youtubeconnollyfamilyif Overeem can survive a KO, Francis can too. Please take your negative energy to that bald red headed guy
Props to Fury for making this happen on his behalf as well. He blessed Francis with a real payday!
Yes sir
Fury just taking the easiest fight possible.
Ya right see fury going fight in the pfl or ufc for pay day fury is blesssed By francis going to boxing ring
Props?
Its just a money grab
Fury doesn't care about Francis
He just want some easy money
@@rimboeglitch590
Wait…what’s the that got to do with anything?
The point is fury is giving him a pay day.
how can you not love this guy! So humble, so happy, the perfect example of what a champion is. One day I wish to be smiling as much as him, wish him all the best in this fight!
I am a fan of him, but I dk him nor do you.
@@justvibing2497😏
@@justvibing2497maybe not but if you listen to all the people who do know him they all say the same things
Ariel living vicariously through Francis lol
francis, the only man to go against the ufc/dana and get a 10-6
@@black-cross10-6? 😂 if this fight sells less than 1m it’s an L. 200k ppvs Incoming
@@BigPercNowitzki200k is very generous
@@BigPercNowitzki the money don't matter. He got the fight without them. That's all that matters. He didnt bend the knee. He's probably going to get brutally koed inside 3 rounds, but still.
Arent we all kinda?
Always so impressed by this man, what a strong minded and well-adjusted human. A champion.
Probably why he has all troubles with UFC
@@BrushworkNLI'm sure you're trying to say something
No mind games can break this man, this one is different 👍
Man I’m happy for Francis. So cool what he has accomplished
Since he was a kid in the sand mines people said he couldn’t do it he became ufc heavy weight champion and they still didn’t believe him
Hes not going to beat Fury...
@@prophetnozza4150imagine he does though
I gave up fairy tale stories when i was a child@@s1Lence_au
I was one of his biggest critics, really thought he fumbled the bag. But here he is, getting the bag, boxing like he wanted in the biggest possible fight possible, and still has an mma career (that one definitely won't be the same though.....pfl isn't the ufc), and already secured a job for after fighting. Congrats Francis. Good luck Saturday.
Francis is a real worker and hustler, but they always think hes just a brute force.
Can’t even imagine the scenes if Ngannou pulls off the upset 😂 Go get em Francis.
Tyson in my opinion is NOT the baddest man on the planet,he's slow& awkward, telegraphs his punches,I don't see him doing that well against Francis,soon as Tyson gets hit with a solid blow by Ngannou he will be back peddling to avoid any further blows which in turn will set fury up for Francis to knock him out
damn u were spot on@@anthonylove5275
The definition of a gentle giant that Carries a big stick! What a nice person he is. Best of luck to him…….he’s gonna need a lot of it.
@scratcherbrespeakman7516
Bwahahahahaaahaaa yeah I guess if you look at my comment that way you are definitely right! I do not know that 😂😂👊🏼
You mean big Corey?
What?
How can you not admire and feel motivated listening to this guy. He is so talented. A modern day warrior. Good luck champ
Modern day warriors are soldiers and mercenaries. Francis' a fighter
Gorgeous man. He seems so chill now. Life goes on and is beautiful.
what an amazing guy this Francis!!!
Even if it’s competitive it’s a win for Francis
Always such a pleasure to listen to Nganou here. Great guy. Great fighter. Great personality
I hope he keeps becoming successful in everything he does so the haters and doubters can suck it
Tyson as his cornerman will be a crazy visual
Francis is so happy, so glad he is getting treated great
Would be insane if Francis gets it done. Good luck.
Tyson is going to get knocked out! Fury is slow & awkward telegraphs his punches, he's definitely NOT the baddest man on the planet 😂 like he thinks he is. Once Francis connects with a hard blow fury will start to back peddle to avoid any further punches which will set him up for Ngannou to KO him.
And newwwwww
Such a humble and grateful dude.
Fight week? More like his wedding week; the man can't stop smiling from ear to ear haha😁. Put on a show brother
I hope he does well against Tyson even if he doesn’t win I want him to do well enough for people to want him vs Wilder that’s my dream fight 2 hardest punchers on the planet
With mma gloves in octegon...clinch elbows no legs or wrestling. UFC should cross promote with boxers but make it more even ground.
@@MrMASH50 I wanna see it in boxing but I agree I think the most fair way to do boxer vs MMA is basically legless Muay Thai so all upper body striking with like 10 second clinches. Basically boxing with elbows, hammer fists, back fists, ridge hands, forearms, palms/slaps, & spinning attacks with some clinch work and whatever size gloves & ring or cage are cool with me
@@NorthLondon-pm6xy It’s better for the each sports champions & contenders to fight as first priority I agree Usyk vs Fury should’ve been made first, but Francis didn’t leave for this match in particular he left to revolutionize pay for MMA guys & not bow to the monopoly & yes to get rich from boxing. Also it’s Jones fault the Ngannou fight didn’t happen he didn’t need 3 years to bulk. People wouldn’t be as mad about it if he was facing Wilder or AJ because it wouldn’t be holding up a championship bout. But I don’t think boxing & MMA should go their separate ways, their histories are intertwined & there’s always gonna be some matchups from that can be cool to see especially the MMA guys with really good hands. People say MMA guys have no shot when dudes with mid-bad boxing have been the poster child’s for it- Askren, Woodley, & Diaz were never good boxers in MMA even a little bit those were always stupid choices, there’s always been guys that would be much more interesting to see box but they aren’t the ones going for it & who could be competitive. Conor won the first 5 rounds against Floyd & yeah Floyd was sandbagging to let him get tired but that says a lot if that was him gameplan because why wouldn’t he stand & bang with the shitty MMA guy why did he need to be tired for him to go for the kill?
It’s not an exhibition it’s a pro fight no matter how much of a mismatch it seems like Francis is a heavyweight champion from punching people in the face, this is a legit pro bout with big risk on Tyson’s part. The match isn’t suppose to be close but neither were his Wilder fights especially the 3rd one, the punchers chance that Ngannou & Wilder have are what makes it interesting. I bet Fury will be dancing I don’t know how much he’ll meet Ngannou in the middle. Also this isn’t even an abnormal thing we’ve seen in boxing, the best guys take fights against absolute cans with no Wikipedia page or journeymen all the time to boost their records, they have just as good of a chance of winning as Ngannou does so really it’s nothing to scoff at other than that it held up the Usyk fight.
God bless him and his family. I'm sure he will help so many people with the millions that he will win with all his dangerous line of work. Good luck champ!
Some people just deserve success in life and he's one of them. Humble, well mannered, smart and an all round wholesome human being.
Summed it up lol
I'm rooting For Francis His Life story is insane and How can you hate a guy like Him? I'm also a Fan of Tyson Fury
So glad he’s conscience about the weight. Deontay thought being lighter would work. Not against fury he likes to lean on you.
Yeah I could feel the Champion Ngannou. He fight for his history.
What a great sportsman
🐸
Francis said there was a rematch clause, Tyson said there isn’t?
Let’s go Francis!!!
Francis is always at his best when the odds are against him. So Saturday is likely to be the biggest upset in combat sports history.
Yea This Might Be The One Fr
I don't see fury winning many rounds,once Ngannou hits him with a hard blow&Tyson realizes the power he possesses he'll be back peddling to avoid any further bombs which will set him up to be knocked out. Fury is awkwardly slow& telegraphs his punches, he will have much trouble when Francis gets inside of him.
Even though i hope you're right and it's not impossible, it's not likely. Boxing is like breathing to Fury. Francis will have to connect fully in order to win and Fury is too seasoned to just let that happen easily.
@@anthonylove5275I think the opposite, Fury knows all the tricks like leaning on he's opponent, he also has the longer reach and better foot work. Francis HAS to knock him out, it's his only chance. Now in a Cage, he would murk Fury!
@@deanivan3951 I still think fury is going to have his hands full his skill set is just soso...once Ngannou gets inside furys reach he won't be able to do much at all. It's funny fury thinks he's the baddest man on the planet...🤏🥱 Sloths have better moves.
Keep smiling Francis, so happy for this guy
Francis has a better chance than people will give him credit for. He’s at least going to be 50 pounds bigger than wilder
He’s fighting Tyson Fury. 💤
He has a better chance than McGregor VS. Mayweather IMO. If he lands a similar uppercut Conor did on Floyd, which Francis almost took Overeem's head off with, it's over. Period.
Man if you have a little of intelligence you can see through this interview, he doesn't care about victory he doesn't even think about the victory he doesn't even know when would be his potential rematch if he wins
Nobody expected Otto wallin to give fury a scrap and fury couldn't get him out of there so I reckon Francis stands a better chance then people think.
@@adrianmclaughlin9585ur funny lil man. Conor won rounds off of Floyd. Francis won’t win a single round and doubt he lands more than 10 punches in a single round
When Francis KO's Fury Round 5, then Francis will be 🤴 for years!
Haha that would be the best end to his already awesome story. The only way is if he gets a good or couple good shots in on Fury but good luck with that.
He shares his wealth with his family shows he cares big heart,
After passing the Ariel test Francis finds it easier to box Tyson then going through a Ariel interview! Lol
Francis and cristiano ronaldo, what a legend. Dana the buffalo threw a hissy fit over francis, but now ngannou is winning and is way popular than a low paid ufc champion
Francis looks so happy. I am jealous. I wish my life wasn't so much suffering
It’s his positive attitude and vision like he said
He won't win the fight but he won in life.
Nah. People will forget about him in a few years.
@@cknorris3644he's getting minimum $10 mill this fight. Who cares if people remember him or not.
@@cknorris3644 if he makes enough before then, maybe he doesn’t care?
@@cknorris3644 that's fine too. Francis don't care and neither do we.
@@cknorris3644we forgot about you already little bruh 😂😂😂😂
Francis so boring in interviews I can never finish
Nah this is ariel fault. Its a witch hunt just a barrage of queations, too kurt.
If ANYONE deserves a documentary about their story, it’s Francis Ngannou. Period.
I love his mentality
i don't even care if francis wins, for me he is a legend for shoving it to dana white and for believing in himself.
Francis is a smart man. Very likeable. Wish him a great fight.
Scoring a knock down in the 3rd round must have felt amazing. That and putting up a great fight
If he knocks Fury out he'll be a legend
no matter how Francis skills matchup against Fury at least we know this fight will be better than anything on the KSI vs Fury card
Someone needs to have a counter for how many times Ariel unnecessarily tried to stir up drama in this "interview."
How do you not love this guy ..good luck Francis with the tricky Gypsie !!
THIS IS YOUR NEWWWWWW HEAVYWEIGHT BOXIG CHAMPION OF THE WORLD ...GO ON FRANCIS !!!!
How can u not like this brother, I wish him all the best in this fight, I just hope Tyson does not toy with him 😂
Tyson looks to be taking this very seriously as he should
Don’t worry Francis I’ll watch…. But I’m not paying 😂😂😂

Good for him man, win or lose, congrats Francis!
I can't believe Ariel isn't going over to Saudi for this fight? How is the biggest MMA reporter not going to be at this event?
Ariel trying so hard to get a reaction from Francis but failing at every attempt. Francis has the most chilled approach it’s really great to see.
Yeah despite all that corruption and greed around him, him being used as a pawn by the rivals of the UFC, at least the guy is just blissfully unaware and getting paid for it. Good for him I suppose!
Who could hate Francis Ngannou ? Very polite and reasonable guy.
Haters can hate him that’s about it
He just happy to be there
Tyson is gonna beat the brakes off of him!! Good on him getting the bag tho 💰
beat the brakes no someone is going to land a huge one and end round 2 i reckon fury dillian whites him in style and ngannou goes back to real fighting so little respct to the man ngannou would kill fury in the streets ok shhh
Tyson like punching guys in the ears or back of head to win fights .. i see that “happening accidentally” again lol but francis can knock him out
THE KING! If you’re doubting him you should listen to Teddy Atlas’ thoughts on Francis vs Tyson. Francis will shock the world. BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET!
1. Francis loses miserably
2. Baddest man on the planet is Jon Jones lil bro
It's not being disrespectful. The boxing community is just being honest about this fight. Tyson's the Heavyweight champion of the world. Francis isn't a boxer.
ALM. aged like milk
PROUD of Francis win or lose
Imagine Francis knocks out Fury, then he beats Jon Jones in PFL in March, and then rematches Fury.
imagine if Francis randomly beats Tyson Fury and then beat Usyk too
it would be so funny
You'd have to pay us to watch that ish
You’re the only one who gave him a chance. Respect

If Miocic beats Jon Jones, he FLIES up this list.
Definitely buying.....Also looking forward to extreme martial artist OLISA ERIC OSSAI as he fights Lyndon Arthur soon in lightheavy weight boxing..Hes about to sweep game
I see a time in the future when to be the baddest man on the planet you will have to conquer both MMA and Boxing
Or boxing canabalises itself through greed, leaving only MMA recognised as the only true combat sport to determine the baddest
@@Cold_Logicthis
What a fabulous guy
If he wins, Francis is Goated!!🎉
All the people saying that mma guy can't win against a boxing person. Just remember no mma guy except Conor took there boxing fight as seriously as Francis. Most of them where washed out and just wanted payday. Francis wants to create legacy and that's what is different.
Let’s go Francis for KO!
Ariel will never feel complete until he gets Francis to admit some kind of annoyance about a set back in his life.
Feancis is just a gentle man. He gets a knock-out..
francis is a good guy
im a fury fan boy,i have follwed his career from his very first fight,i cried the night he beat wlad,but on Saturday i hope francis knocks him spark out.
I really hope that this kid somehow gets the job done but it's gonna be difficult. At least hope he does something similar to what Otto Wallin managed to do by cutting Fury badly and getting a moral victory, which is why Fury avoided a rematch at all costs...
funny hater
@@prophetnozza4150 How?!? It's not like Fury is going to fight any contenders anyway, so I'm hoping Francis somehow gets the job done...
One of his biggest problems is going to be the weight. It's rare for a guy to be that big and do well in boxing. The best heavyweight are around 220-240 lbs in boxing. Except if you are Tyson Fury. He is one of the very few heavyweights that can get away with being almost 300. Look how sloppy Anthony Joshua looks with all that muscle and he has way more experience in boxing than Ngannou.
I think he’ll do well am rooting for you am going for the underdog
Let’s go Francis let’s go
What a very nice man !
Boxing is weird. I can see it now,
Mike Tyson 33 years after losing the biggest upset in the history of boxing, comes back to train a novice to beat the current champion who was named after him becoming the biggest upset in boxing history
😅 Nahh, probably not
just go for leg kicks and body kicks and then come up with a headkick, set it up well
Fury wasted his prime years with huge amounts of inactivity, he wasted his prime years with Chisora 3, he’s wasting his prime years with Ngannou. It’s really no wonder that the fans dislike him and that he dislikes himself. Fury is too cowardly to admit that legacy means anything to him through fear of failing to live up to expectations, he also admits that money is meaningless yet his addiction to it has cost his legacy and the admiration of his fans and the boxing fraternity. Look at the Chisora, the fans love him win loss or draw because he ducks no one. Fury should focus on greatness, not money, and the fans would pay him back 10 fold for it. Protecting his 0 losses record has cost him legacy, the same legacy that gives his 0 losses any meaning.
After a split decision what do you have to tell your fans that you were referring to?
@@DjRHINOInternational1 Worst performance in Fury’s entire career. If fury performs like that against Usyk then Usyk will win via stoppage.
@@Make_Boxing_Great_Again it's not the worst performance of Fury. Ngannou is just a smart fighter. A real hard worker
@@DjRHINOInternational1 Then you’re just deluded. I give Ngannou a 1% chance of victory against AJ.
This guy is just so cool😱
Damn that CR7 watch is dope af!!! I need friends like Ronaldo 😂
these crossovers are amazing ngl. its all for show for the most part, but thats why it attracts so many people. just like watching the gladiators back in the day. or how people like seeing a Muay Thai fighter take on a boxer or a kickboxer vs MuayThai. people love these crossovers. McGreggor vs Mayweather was the same as well. people love these. I do hope in the future we get braver boxers who are willing to go in the octagon. it doesnt have to be full MMA. it can be down to striking and kicking only without the takedowns. that way, all the boxer needs to learn is how to check kicks and throw some
Sunday after... he got his exclamation point.
Way better interview than Ngannou & Okamoto. No wonder Ariel is the 13x consec mma journalist of the year. Better questions and ariel offers a safe space for Francis
Francis, please continue to be humble, intelligent and gentlemanly. Don’t let them pull you out... The world is with you, because you are the People’s Champ!
Although Fury is miles ahead of Francis in boxing, he still has the nuclear one punch ko power. Im very happy for Francis tho, get that bag 💪

@@rman229nonone ever let's themself get hit. They just get hit.
@@rolandndifor3248 Yea cuz they got no boxing skill
