Francis Ngannou appears to aim dig at Dana White with Tyson Fury announcement

Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou appeared to aim a thinly-veiled shot at his old boss Dana White in the name of his new boxing promotion for his fight with Tyson Fury.

The former UFC heavyweight never dropped his belt after fighting out his contract with the top MMA promotion and moving to the sport's No.2 PFL where he has autonomy over his career. And his relationship with White was infamously rocky, eventually ending in the company allowing him to leave without a matching period.

He will return to the cage next year, but will first take on a massive money boxing match with his boxing counterpart Fury in Saudi Arabia this October. And in a game-changing move for the Cameroonian's career, he will be a partial promoter in the event, launching his GIMIK Fight Promotions.
