Francis Ngannou’s future in MMA has become even more uncertain.
Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion now signed with PFL, was expected to debut with his new promotion sometime in 2024, but that might not be the case anymore. Unexpectedly this past week, Ngannou booked a boxing match against British star Anthony Joshua for March 8 in Saudi Arabia. With this booking and a potential year-end rematch with Tyson Fury looming after a competitive split decision in October, Ngannou said “there’s a chance” he just does boxing this year.
“Possibility, yes. Strong possibility, I don’t know,” Ngannou said when asked if he was going to fight in MMA in 2024 on “The MMA Hour.” “As I said, even before this fight, nothing was certain yet.”
