Jake Paul has confirmed that his Most Valuable Promotions team have begun talks to bring Francis Ngannou into their stable after the UFC heavyweight champion became a free agent.
Boxing and MMA promoters are clamouring to organise meetings with Ngannou after the Cameroonian left the UFC atop their heavyweight division, and Paul has joined the race for his signature. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has an interesting angle, however, having joined forces with PFL for a pay-per-view MMA offering as well as his boxing promotion.
Paul already has a stable of fighters that includes undisputed featherweight champion Amanda Serrano and top teen prospect Ashton Sylve. And he could add Ngannou, with whom he has previously spent time while shooting promotional content back in 2021.
