In mixed martial arts (MMA), few names evoke as much fear and anticipation as Francis Ngannou, known as “The Predator.” 

Fans have eagerly awaited his comeback to mixed martial arts (MMA) since his last mind-blowing victory at UFC 270 in January 2022.

After a period of absence due to a knee injury, rumors swirled about Ngannou’s departure from the UFC. However, in a surprising turn of events, he showcased his versatility by stepping into the boxing ring against WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury in October 2023.

Now, Ngannou is poised for another monumental moment as he prepares for his second professional boxing match against former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua next month. 

Despite his ventures into boxing, Ngannou remains deeply rooted in the MMA world and is committed to his new Professional Fighters League (PFL) team.
