Francis Ngannou has recently opened up about his plans.
The former UFC heavyweight champion was recently seen in action in what was his second professional boxing fight. After previously going the distance against Tyson Fury, Ngannou expected to put on an impressive performance against Anthony Joshua as well.
However, that wasn’t the case at all. Francis Ngannou ended up losing the fight via a second-round knockout. Since then, a lot has been said about his future.
While many believed that Ngannou would return to MMA following a devastating knockout, it looks like ‘The Predator’ has something else in his mind. In a recently uploaded video on his YouTube channel, he spoke about how he wants to avenge this loss.
While suggesting that he will most likely look for a third boxing fight, Francis Ngannou said:
“What’s next for me? Maybe a third boxing fight…now I feel like boxing owes me something”

How much did Francis Ngannou make for his fight against Anthony Joshua?
Francis Ngannou’s exit from the UFC seems to have paid off in a big way for him. After making multiple millions from his fight against Tyson Fury last year, ‘The Predator’ did the same against Anthony Joshua.
Since the fight has happened, fans have been wondering as to how much Anthony Joshua and Ngannou made from the fight. It is worth noting that the official numbers have not been released as of yet.
However, it was estimated going into the fight that ‘AJ’ would make around $50 million for the fight. On the flip side, Ngannou is said to have taken home around $20 million. Moreover, they will get additional pay-per-view shares as well from their fight. That said, regardless of the outcome, it was certainly a good night out for Ngannou.
