NGANNOU WILL MAKE MMA RETURN AFTER JOSHUA BOUT
Francis Ngannou is more renowned as a mixed martial artist and is now expected to make a highly-anticipated return to MMA after his boxing bout against Anthony Joshua.
Since his victory over Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January 2022, “The Predator” has been absent from mixed martial arts competitions. Last year, it was announced that Ngannou would be leaving the UFC due to a prolonged absence caused by a knee injury.
Currently, Ngannou is preparing for his second professional boxing match against Anthony Joshua, the former unified heavyweight champion. Despite his boxing commitments, Ngannou remains committed to his new team in the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
In the meantime, a significant heavyweight bout between Renan Ferriera and Ryan Bader is set to take place, with Ngannou announced as the opponent for the winner of this matchup in his promotional debut with the PFL.
