Francis Ngannou in talks to make boxing debut on influencer boxing card

Francis Ngannou Derek Chisora Tyson Fury UFC Kalle Sauerland Mams Taylor Misfits Boxing

Francis Ngannou is set to enter talks with KSI's manager over a fight on a Misfits Boxing card.

Ngannou reigned as UFC heavyweight champion and has been out of action since January last year while embroiled in contract talks with the promotion over a new deal. However after stating his ambitions to compete in the boxing ring, news broke that the Cameroon would be parting ways with his promoter and is now a free agent after vacating his title.

When breaking his silence following the announcement of his new move, Ngannou stated his intentions to now compete in the squared circle while calling out Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. However Misfits Boxing promoter Kalle Sauerland instead proposed that the star could touch gloves with Derek Chisora after his call-out.
