That's what I love about this guy. Just when you think you have something to complain about in your privileged, first world country life, you are reminded that some people have it 16x worse AND they not only survived.....but like Francis, they are thriving
@@arizonacolour8793 Brother I was born&raised in a third world country, lemme tell you something it's sometimes harder to be in minimum wage in first world countries as well. You hit a different level of struggle and the means by which you could support yourself in your own country are either extremely precarious or illegal (in my country you could just put a towel on the ground and sell stuff or offer your services, go to the mosque/church for food or shelter) but try going to any Mosque in the UAE for food and shelter and you'll see what you get ... threats and rejection... I'm not saying it's harder or even equally hard to live in the 1st world, I'm only saying don't feel sorry for yourself and think less of what you can accomplish. I used to be a teacher in my country and now I'm a part-timer farm-worker and earn double what teaching gives me. Many people don't realize the obstacle for a foreigner to be equal with his colleagues is "Patrimoine" "inheritance" many middle class people will get a boost or help like a house or living for free with family for few years to save money. But what is also forgotten is that many minimum wage 1st world country workers inherit debts or don't inherit anything. So their only "advantage" is on a socio-cultural level
Francis has a crazy story. From homeless to Heavyweight champion and then getting millions when he went to boxing. Super sad he lost his baby son. Always will be a fan
Damn man .... I have a 3 year old son . And I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WILL I DO IF I LOST HIM..... How is he still continuing. I will probably kill myself or do something stupid dunno. Il not want to live anymore... Imagine how strong you have to be to not loose your mind,and still smiling.......

@@timmyOGlmao dude delete your comment. Your a clown. He celebrated after knocking down one of the greatest heavy weights of our time, thats after, Fury went on a boastful arrogant cocky rampage of a pre fight build up that was all initiated by Tyson Fury, he talked so much crap about how he will smoke him in the first two rounds and if he would have did that he would have done so much worse.
I lost my daughter almost 6 months ago at age 14. Nothing will ever come close to adversity we've faced amongst this hell on Earth of losing a child. There is hope after loss and Francis is a role model for every single person on this planet. God bless you Francis your story is beyond inspirational, keep sharing it the world needs hope.
Francis calling himself a "lucky guy" when he literally grew up in abject poverty and had to earn everything with his bare hands really speaks to his level of gratitude. If anyone has the right to label themselves a victim for being dealt a poor hand in life, it's him, but he's still so appreciative despite all the hardship. Truly one of the most inspirational rag-to-riches success stories.
Francis reminds me of a friend I lost touch with from the Republic of Congo. His soft spoken African French English was very pleasant. He was a kind spirit. I hope Arnaud is happy with his family living a good life.
It’s amazing that the same man who has this beautiful voice and story is the greatest fighter of our time. I’m tearing up over here listening to his story of his son. Thank you Francis for sharing with us
I'm glad Francis gets to speak on such a huge platform. He's much smarter than people give him credit for. He sees things in a very realistic way. Always liked him since his first fight in the UFC.
No words for how inspiring Francis is. His life story. His human nature. His soul. His way of speaking. His humour. His humbleness...And his sad loss. Man, what a true legend. This podcast might even be a turn in my life. You cannot be the same after hearing this whole thing
This guy has had some rollercoaster of a life. Grows up in a village in Cameroon working in the sand mines as a child. Leaves home and has to cross the desert multiple times to get to Europe. Lives as a homeless person in France. Eventually makes it to the UFC, becomes Heavyweight champion then leaves despite people telling him he’s making a huge mistake. Signs with PFL then secures a boxing match with Tyson Fury and almost beats him. Makes more money in one fight than his whole career. Is on top of the world. Takes another boxing match and gets brutally KO’d. Then his son dies. The Francis Ngannou movie is gonna win somebody an Oscar.
Grows up in a broken family, his father engages in fights with random villagers, rediculed by his peers as a result of his family status and poverty add to that.
He beats the greatest lineal boxing heavyweight champion of all time, who is named after a boxing legend Mike tyson, but the boxing mafia DOES not give him the win.. That's another tragedy but still beautiful because Francis realized alot of success from it and the people said he won. It's a wild wild tragically poetic life up until just this point. 2024.
And got viciously knocked out and sacrificed a potentially great legacy in MMA where he would've still had more more money than he knows what to do with!
Do you have the memory of a goldfish? He arguably beat Tyson Fury, one of the great heavyweight boxers, in his professional debut, and in his 2 boxing fights combined, he made more money then he would have made in 5 UFC fights, he went against the UFC and Dana White, and won.@@wheatley9601
@@wheatley9601 but set up MMA facilities/contest for a whole continent. Don't get lost on the small details that only matter to you and people that think like you. He still moving like a king out here.
@wheatley9601 lol that's why Dana is considering a cross promotion fight right now. Some people like being controlled by a master. Others detest it...😊
Joe shows a lot of respect and grace when Francis talks about his son. Processing things like that can happen live when you talk about them and it can be hard to listen to. It felt like watching a real human moment rather than a show.
The last 30mins took me through an emotional roller coaster. As a father I can't even imagine going through how much pain he must be in. Hats off to you my man.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen Francis interviewed and he seems like a really good guy. That has been through some unbelievable stuff. Definitely a person that is easy to root for. Very sorry that he lost his son.
What a gentle and sweet man. Yet a dangerous warrior. Listening him speak about his baby boy was soul crushing. Wish him the best, he will see his little buddy again.
I’m the biggest AJ fan . I went to his last fight with Francis and I gotta admit. When FRANCIS said the fight started late ppl said he making up excuses. But the fight really started late around 3:00 am . I was and the crowd and I was already tired . Imagine the fighters how they feel . But he was hell of a fighter salute to him. ❤
And to add to your idiotic thinking, the reason you are tired because you are sitting in one seat the entire room while nganou was in the free to move around. He can sleep, nap, eat, and do whatever. You can’t. lol. You can’t pull out a bed and take a nap. lol. Man, people like you are idiots for even comparing your spectating circumstances with that of Ngannou.
Ngannou was supposed to be the baddest man on the planet. Walked halfway across Africa. Hard as nails, but only between certain hours of the day? Joshua had to fight at 3am as well remember.
Man that was heavy, Francis talking about his son like that was mind blowing hes thinking exactly what you would think in your worst dream. What a man he is and its like a tribute to Coby too putting him out there in the universe and hopefully helping anyone else going through such a hard time ❤
Being a die hard boxing fan I can tell you that Francis is officially a real boxer. To be a real true boxer you need to blame your losses on anyone but yourself. And you get a gold star for blaming it on a conspiracy.
Man. What a great interview. It hit hard towards the end too. People don’t even know what that man is going through. Deep stuff. Wish him the best and anyone else on here going through it.
Francis is such a beautiful person. We idolise so many idiots in this world but he is such a true genuine hero. I feel so heartbroken for all the hardship and pain he endured and he is so strong. This is truly what we should aspire to be like ❤️
This man has been through so much man. As a new parent, I can’t even imagine what would happen to me if I lost a child. RIP Kobe. Say ‘hi’ to Mamba for us.
Francis, while being at my lowest in life and thinking I had stop feeling emotion.. you made me cry like a kid. Hope this story helps any future parents in protecting their beloved ones. I pray in you seeing Kobe when the time has come, along with your family. Thank you for lifting me up.. the rest is from me.
The positive energy pouring out of this man is nothing short of miraculous. With what he's been through in life, especially recently, to be here speaking to the positive potential of humanity, it's so refreshing and inspiring
A man.. A champ.. A Father... Francis thank you for showing us small glipse in your long journey. I hope you bring everything you ever wanted to africa and it's people. RIP KOBE 🙏
The fact that Francis having gone through what he has been through with his son and is able to reflect on the feelings of another person in his brother and how he should of been there more for him. Man that really says a lot about him, truly selfless, a gentle giant to his core.
It's really nice to see him get payed. The dude really deserves it, he took a big chance on himself since the start. From leaving his home to working in the Sand Mines and getting involved in one of the toughest sports. Glad the man getting payed. Well Earned and deserved. 🙌
Francis got me emotional. As a fatger of 10 months baby boy i cant imagine pain inside him! Respect to people like him for finding power in themselves to keep living and becoming better after what he had to go through 😔😔😔 Rip to the little Kobe !
Ok i just cried my eyes out. Man, as someone who has the most serious pain disorder in the world and living my life bedridden. Waking up everyday and grasping for any gratitude I can to get through the say, I also say in my darkest moments "remember that someone in the world right now would gladly take the nightmare life you are living" reminds me so much of what he said. When you have been through so much, even losing a child the way he did, he can still find gratitude in the fact that he believes they will be together one day when he dies. It reminds me of a famous Alan Watts quote that keeps me going, "we must not suffer from our suffering". Stay healthy folks, and grab a piece of gratitude everyday and let that get you through the day. Who knows what the next day will bring.
This is a man with conviction, drive, humility and kindness at the same time. A true role model for every young lad out there. God bless you Francis Ngannou, may the soul of your son rest eternally in peace with our Lord ❤️
Damn how much pain can a man endure in life? this has caused tears in my eyes, this man Francis Ngannou has pure heart and very strong not just physically but mentally, true Champ in and out of the ring.
I'm hugging my son extra tight from now on I'm so sorry for your loss Francis your are in my prayers the way you spoke about your son and are handling it is the bravest toughest thing you have ever done💯
As strong as Francis is physically, he is infinitely stronger mentally. What an inspirational story.
True as fuck. The dude is a legend

Francis is a really nice guy. Soft spoken, very smart, and creative thinker. I'm so sorry about his loss. 😢
First time listening to any interview over two hours. This is real and can't be more inspired by Francis story.
Man. What a great interview. It hit hard towards the end too. People don’t even know what that man is going through. Deep stuff. Wish him the best and anyone else on here going through it.
Francis is such a beautiful person. We idolise so many idiots in this world but he is such a true genuine hero. I feel so heartbroken for all the hardship and pain he endured and he is so strong.
This is truly what we should aspire to be like ❤️
Francis you’re a hero!
Francis is one of the most extraordinary humans we’ve had the privilege to observe grow in recent years
God bless you Francis. Great conversation, Rip Kobe.
Damn never cried about a jre episode until today
This man has been through so much man. As a new parent, I can’t even imagine what would happen to me if I lost a child. RIP Kobe. Say ‘hi’ to Mamba for us.
Francis, while being at my lowest in life and thinking I had stop feeling emotion.. you made me cry like a kid. Hope this story helps any future parents in protecting their beloved ones. I pray in you seeing Kobe when the time has come, along with your family.
Thank you for lifting me up.. the rest is from me.
You got this champ 💯
❤
The positive energy pouring out of this man is nothing short of miraculous. With what he's been through in life, especially recently, to be here speaking to the positive potential of humanity, it's so refreshing and inspiring
I don’t think Francis gets enough credit for how lovely and soft his speaking voice is. Bro could do audio books after he retires.
lol… truth
Sounds like his life's purpose is putting people to sleep then lol. In the octagon/ring... and in audio books.
I was at work....sitting at my desk...crying quietly for the last 20 minutes of this pod.
A man.. A champ.. A Father... Francis thank you for showing us small glipse in your long journey. I hope you bring everything you ever wanted to africa and it's people.
RIP KOBE
🙏
The last 10 minutes or so brought tears to my eyes.
You're a good man Francis.
All the best with your future endeavours ❤
Yo 😢 those last 30 minutes. Stay strong Francis. No one should have to bury their kids.
love every single time francis is on. bro his story about getting out of cameroon is nuttsssss
The fact that Francis having gone through what he has been through with his son and is able to reflect on the feelings of another person in his brother and how he should of been there more for him. Man that really says a lot about him, truly selfless, a gentle giant to his core.
The pain of losing a loved one will forever change you.
It either breaks you or turns you into a demon.
@@kingjams Or it makes you a better person, more aware of life
Francis is the chill out final boss
It's really nice to see him get payed. The dude really deserves it, he took a big chance on himself since the start. From leaving his home to working in the Sand Mines and getting involved in one of the toughest sports. Glad the man getting payed. Well Earned and deserved. 🙌
You made me cry during work had to say I got dust in my eyes. Saddest thing I ever heard on JRE
One of the greatest fighters ever with insane power, and yet, he's extremely soft spoken and insightful person.
Sorry for your loss Francis. Thank you for sharing your story. The kobe story was very touching.
Respect to Joe for putting Francis back on the spotlight.
Francis got me emotional. As a fatger of 10 months baby boy i cant imagine pain inside him! Respect to people like him for finding power in themselves to keep living and becoming better after what he had to go through 😔😔😔 Rip to the little Kobe !
I've got an eight month old boy. And just the thought of it hurts like nothing else
@cheeseburger3209 it does hurts 😢 can wait to get home from work and give a big hug to my little one
Ok i just cried my eyes out. Man, as someone who has the most serious pain disorder in the world and living my life bedridden. Waking up everyday and grasping for any gratitude I can to get through the say, I also say in my darkest moments "remember that someone in the world right now would gladly take the nightmare life you are living" reminds me so much of what he said. When you have been through so much, even losing a child the way he did, he can still find gratitude in the fact that he believes they will be together one day when he dies. It reminds me of a famous Alan Watts quote that keeps me going, "we must not suffer from our suffering". Stay healthy folks, and grab a piece of gratitude everyday and let that get you through the day. Who knows what the next day will bring.
for one of the many guys in the "strongest man in the wolrd" debate - so humble. compassion for him
Such a soft spoken and humble f', killer. What a crazy life story he's had so far, how can you not be a fan?
This is a man with conviction, drive, humility and kindness at the same time. A true role model for every young lad out there. God bless you Francis Ngannou, may the soul of your son rest eternally in peace with our Lord ❤️
In Jesus' name ❤ Amen
As a father of 2 healthy boys my hearth absolutley breaks hearing about hes son. May he rest in peace champ.
This guys English has improved so much over the years it’s really cool to see as an English speaking fan.
Damn how much pain can a man endure in life? this has caused tears in my eyes, this man Francis Ngannou has pure heart and very strong not just physically but mentally, true Champ in and out of the ring.
One of the good guys in sports for sure
Great to see Ngannou happy again and smiling on here.
This man deserves the best things in your way🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I admired the guy for what he did for himself financially from being under the UFC to million dollars fights on the biggest stage that's admirable
One of the best episodes. What a man Francis
It's crazy how someone who's such a beast in the ring/cage can have such a calm relaxed personality, even his voice is soothing 😂
What do you do in your life? what do you wanna be? I hope everything goes well for you.
Francis is so awesome man.....great interview!
I want Francis voice narrating my life, my books, my thoughts…. EVERYTHING. Where I subscribe? Haha. ❤ great episode! 👌🏻
I am so surprised how well spoken and calm Francis is. I was not a fan (not even watching UFC), but this man is impressive.
I'm hugging my son extra tight from now on I'm so sorry for your loss Francis your are in my prayers the way you spoke about your son and are handling it is the bravest toughest thing you have ever done💯
*HIS FIRST PODCAST IS STILL GOATED TO THIS DAY* 😊
