  • Francis Ngannou delivers a knockout episode on Club Shay Shay, going toe-to-toe with Shannon Sharpe. The punches aren't just in the ring - Francis is throwing verbal jabs, expressing his desire to take on heavyweight giants Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and rematch with Tyson Fury. He takes a swing at UFC contracts and Dana White, revealing some behind-the-octagon heat. Francis also says he would fight Jon Jones. But the real knockout is Francis's incredible journey from Africa to Paris in 14 months - barbwire fences, inflatable boats, and more adversity - which displays why Francis isn’t afraid to go up against anyone. How about a culture lesson? Francis breaks down the true meaning of polygamy in Africa. Also, Francis shares the moment he knew he made it after traveling to the USA for the first time. Hold onto your gloves; this episode's a title bout of surprises. For example, you’ll never guess who Francis want to play him in a movie. Hint: it rhymes with “Skilled This Fella”. It's a heavyweight talk you won't want to miss!

    Francis' obviously high intelligence is such an overlooked aspect of his story. He could barely speak English just a few years ago and in such a short time he's able to conduct such a nuanced and insightful interview in what must be (at the very least) his third language. This, plus his indomitable will, does much to explain how he was able to overcome everything from the sand mines to Dana White.

      Even an untrained Fury should have beat him easily considering Tyson started boxing 🥊 at 6. People should stop making excuses for Fury, like Wilder did for his costume… You can’t have it both ways 😂😂😂

    There is one thing about Ngannou that most people either don't know or misunderstand. The guy has a very high IQ in Combat Sports and he's a very quick learner! This guy started fighting at a very late stage and look at what he's already doing??! He's the most scary guy we've seen in combat sports recently. He's built like an NFL running back, just look at him with Shannon and Shannon is a very big guy. I don't think Fury wants anything to do with this guy again!

      @@akin9868 right. The average height of a linebacker is 6'2 and the average weight is 240. Both smaller than what Francis is listed at. Defensive ends average is 6'4 and 273. That's pretty much Francis' numbers. I don't watch NFL that much , I'm more of a college guy, but these guys don't know what they're talking about
