Francis Ngannou has an official track to his name, as he looks to pull off one of the biggest upsets in combat sports.
On Friday, Ngannou, along with Top Ranked Boxing, posted the official music video for the former UFC heavyweight champion ahead of his boxing fight against WBC champion Tyson Fury on Oct. 28 in Saudi Arabia.
The song titled “Pepper” features known rappers Lil Baby and Flowdan, and famous DJ Skrillex. The music video also has a cameo of global soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The boxing match between Fury and Ngannou is scheduled for 10 rounds, and it’s a fully professional boxing match, although Fury’s WBC heavyweight title won’t be on the line.
Fury has yet to compete in 2023. The last time he defended the WBC belt was in December 2022, a TKO win over Derek Chisora in London.
Ngannou has never competed in a boxing match, but has vast experience in MMA. Ngannou has 20 professional MMA fights, with the last one being a unanimous decision win for the UFC heavyweight title over Ciryl Gane in January 2022.
After almost a full year of sitting out, Ngannou vacated his title and left the promotion earlier this year. In May, Ngannou signed a groundbreaking deal with the PFL that gave him equity and a leadership role in the promotion, as well as the freedom to pursue boxing.
