Francis Ngannou's boxing demands leaked as star eyes bumper payday after UFC exit

Francis Ngannou wants to earn $30 million for any boxing fight according to MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou recently announced his decision to part ways with the promotion after failing to negotiate a new deal with the UFC and president Dana White. 'The Predator' has made it clear on several occasions that he intends to fight in the boxing ring and has been heavily linked with clashes against Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.

One of the key reasons for Ngannou's UFC departure was for the opportunity to earn lucrative paydays which are regular for high-profile boxing fights. The Cameroon star previously expressed his frustration at the financial reward in the UFC, and even compared his own purses to WBC champion Fury's for his fight against Wilder.
