Francis Ngannou has finally said he is open to fighting Jake Paul, with the pair trading words at a press conference on Tuesday.
On 16 May, Ngannou (18-3) will fight fellow UFC veteran Philipe Lins (18-5), at an event organised by Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. The heavyweight clash will serve as the co-main event to Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano, as those pioneers of women’s MMA end their respective retirements at the Intuit Dome in California.
