I just got this notification today. Thought it was new till I read comments and looked at date. Also I don't think he embarrassed fury. Fury is undefeated but Francis is also a genetic monster who's intelligent and best with striking. I say it's not to down fury or boxing but to up francis and welcome him into boxing. Francis could be heavyweight champion I think. I don't see many of the other heavyweights giving him trouble either.
The fact that Geordie went out of his way to get a better photo of potentially one of Francis’s only pictures with his dad speaks volumes of his character.Very wholesome content xx
Francis is one of my favourite humans.very respectful, very gracious. But very tough, and strong. I'm English, and loved watching him teach Tyson fury a lesson. He truly needed that .
I respect Francis a lot, you can read my other comments saying he is an inspiration. But not everyone can achieve anything. that is just wishful thinking. he has a god given gift that he honed and improved. but many of his peers who left Cameroon with him are still poor, because they are not 6'5'' 270lb talented fighters. so no, not everyone can achieve anything. and I think Francis himself would agree with that.
@@bluceree7312 u can, if u work hard enough and don’t give up. Francis has natural amazing ass KO power but he worked hard for his skills. Look at Derrick Lewis. He’s all KO power and nothing else. Some of the people who left Cameroon are still poor cause they aren’t working hard enough to achieve things. It’s simple
Please god give Francis that Tyson fury money. He’s a pure soul and that genuine smile comes from simply not thinking about where his next meals coming from. What a great guy
@@hawkyhawk if we're going by ur logic that means God loves and has chosen Francis giving him the hardest punch on the planet and having him be the heavyweight champion
I’m amazed at how beautiful and humble he is about life. I can’t relate, my life wasn’t anywhere near as hard but I could imagine it would make you feel angry. Having things so hard. He is obviously a very tough man but comes across very humble. No bravado. To me feels a good role model to children everywhere.
His story is a movie man I thought I am strong man who can’t tear down because of a story but this beast carries alot of emotions and memories which makes even the toughest man cry Not only that he also wise and a good example for inspiration
Francis be Low key dropping Gems on this interview... He is already a Legend in the Making. It is only right a movie is made about him He is a modern day hero that inspires hope to a lot of people.
It's tough not to cry or be emotional through some of this. Such a candid, poignant look at his early life. Amazing work from TG and brave, open answers from Ngannou. So very happy for Francis. Great content
Francis has improved so much both on his personality and his fighting style. He had the will to learn to grapple and speak English and accomplished both those things.
@@ducdebrabant4997 Cameroon is a Francophone country. Sure, English is an official language but its rare for someone from a remote village without a formal education to know it.
this man is from the neighboring village of my grandparents and i am so proud of you my brother. You are our Hero. Greetings from Germany de ton frère de Banja🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲❤️
swear man...i could listen to dude all day. his joe rogan episode was something else...my fave ever. hade crying n all sorts. i wish him everything he prays for.
What a journey for Francis Ngannou, from his difficult childhood in Cameroon working in sand mines to being homeless in France to becoming a global UFC superstar, absolutely inspirational 👏👏👏👏
That’s what I’m sayin. I’ve been following the guy closely for 5 years. He has never wavered from his goal and ALWAYS been respectful. When I read a comment online talking bad about him it honestly angers me. It’s gotten better but they are still out there
I'm 18 and since I was born, I always felt like a nobody, had a lot of fake friends and I was a troublemaker. I've been trying to to show people that I changed but this month, I decided to give up and focus on myself. I'm planning on starting boxing and muay thai this year.
Everything is facts. Millions of us from Africa face this situation. I remember, at the age of 11 years old. I used to sell karozin to pay for my own school fees..them days was my worst days. No friends no play time, no food to eat. It was tough..
The toughness and pains of life sometimes brings such humility ✨️ and grea strength with wisdom...Also a gentleness and softness ,rawness and genuiness...Notice this in Mike Tyson also both so huge ,powerful yet gentle & soft-spoken.
Dad was a legendary street fighter in the area. Francis’s sister he says regularly beats the local males in fights. Elite genetics for sure and elite mindset
Nice work so that we could learn more about Francis. Great/relevant questions and you gave him plenty of time to respond...Much substance in your conversation.
NGANNOU WISDOM IS SO UNDERATED....Remind me of the great Mohammed Ali.wisdom, definitely love this interview, raw, genuine , so whole and really impactfull...thanks a lot for the Video
We love you TrueGordie and we love Francis! THANK YOU for this time together. You guys were GREAT! And nice, thoughtful job on the photograph restoration!! Brilliant mate 😘
Really inspired by this guy. Coming from the remotest of places and without proper formal education in English (correct me if I'm wrong) is speaking English fluently. More power to him.
Love this man. I think Fury does, too, hence the offer to fight him and give them (both) a big pay day. I reckon Fury will not want to beat him up mercilessly, but Francis will be dangerous. A tough one to call.
I resonate with Francis Ngannou when he says he is not friendly but respectful coz I also enjoy being a loner but iam respectful and others think when iam that, they think they can be my friends but get disappointed when I resent the friendship coz they change opinion and think iam self centered and anti social. Private people like Ngannou and I are very difficult to understand coz when we respect people we are mistaken to be friendly but when we resent the friendship we are mistaken for antisocial and yet we just needs some privacy and love spending most of the time alone whilst respecting other peoples privacy and expecting to be accorded the some privacy in return.
Its amazing to see how emotional and introceptive this huge scary man. And here i am a wannabe tough guy who always thought that emotions are for weak people 😂
Completely the opposite my brother, I've learned this later on too. A man who is willing to show a vulnerable side whilst also being confident enough within themselves to do so... that's the mark of a true man.

That's like a Brue Lee level quote. This man should write a book.

@@HASU26 App is Remini
What a man. Deep thinking, articulated killer. Incredible story.
His voice is so soft and delicate, Ngannou seems to radiate wisdom and is very insightful. Very inspiring individual.
I think he wouldn't be the same without the voice it's kinda like Anderson silva, the voice lulls you into a false sense of security.

This man needs to make millions and millions cos you know he giving all back to the ppl that need it most
TOTAL RESPECT ✊ FOR THIS MAN
Ngannou has like this child like presence to him, especially him asking what the app was at the end. Definitely a gentle giant.
His story is a movie man
I thought I am strong man who can’t tear down because of a story but this beast carries alot of emotions and memories which makes even the toughest man cry

That moment of silence from Francis when Geordie gives him the phone of his dad n him is something special. 👏🏾
I expected that the app is the sponsor of the video and thats the reason the guy did it so i was pleasently suprised that its not

Francis is such a humble guy
The man is pure humble. Had noting and now has the world at his feet .FairPlay to him he worked so hard.
He is such a beautiful soul. Francis ngannou came from nowhere...it is most definitely a true legendary story. A true champion. 🙂🙏
From humble beginnings to taking on the UFC brass, this man is an inspiration.
he seems like a guy you can just hang out with and chat he has the true warrior spirit always seeking peace but ready for war
Francis has improved so much both on his personality and his fighting style. He had the will to learn to grapple and speak English and accomplished both those things.
He's from a bilingual country, they speak both French and English in Cameroon

For me this is where Brian really shines, an excellent interviewer because he is genuinely interested and it clearly comes through.
Your silly he’s a terrible interviewer he makes it awkward and asks soo many silly questions
@@DentistJoeyou can just watch other interviews yk? Not everything is suitable for every taste
What a story. And what a personality. I wish him more success than he has already achieved.
What a legend, as a massive UFC fan it saddened me that they hadn't negotiated him better...hope he fights Fury and makes bank.
It's a fact him and fury will go at it (fury wants to give him that pay).
@@darien4969haha. Fury give him a pay day. And pretty much destroyed his image. Francis can box apparently 😂

Francis is the Gentleman of UFC. An absolute inspiration.
This man is an epitome of the saying 'Pressure makes Diamonds'.
Every athlete bangs the drum they come from nothing etc but this man literally did come from real poverty
What exactly isn’t ’real poverty’? You’re treading on dangerous ground by suggesting there’s a level of poverty that isn’t worthy of notice.
Couldn't even afford a pen/pencil for class. That's something else
When francis started looking at the photo in detail a tear left my eye
“Love is a feeling, but respect is a doing” -Francis
Real wisdom earned beautiful person amazing story Francis is the truth
Nice thing to do with the pic ..good on ya ...francis deserves all the respect in the world ...unity and peace to all
