Francis is classy very well spoken, mentally strong and very intelligent. He is a champion in fighting and in life. So many people can learn from this man.
Very intelligent compared to a rock
@@MrIrish1yeah he's more intelligent than Dwayne Johnson
@@dooh6600brooooo 😂😂😂
@@MrIrish1compare you to a rock, and the rock comes out in top.
@@MrIrish1 Francis is a internationally respected legend. You are a loser on CZcams watching HIS interview. Remember your place on this earth
"Late or not, here we are!" - Ngannou. Greatest quote in a long time.
Time is a made up thing.. before time we were just living until we can't
This guy's story will become a movie!!!👍💪
It's already. A movie
Tons of documentaries have been made
@@Amused.musicianMCFunny how you contradict ur self
He’s gonna get knocked out easily by Tyson fury
The real movie is Tyson and everyone apart of this hyping it as if he has a legitimate chance to win when in reality there is an agenda behind this fight
"They don't schedule fights in the street" - Francis Ngannou
That was golden
Haha I heard that
This mans story humbled me to a point that changed my life
I love how Francis has adopted some of Mikes’ vocabulary 😂 I was very enthused to hear him say “Hey, listen.” 🔥 You can tell that he really values Mikes’ presence.
And it's scary when he says it
Yourgay
That's his role model
Imagine a good angel on 1 shoulder...say its Mike, and on the other is the devil (francis)
Both say "hey, listen" who ya listening to?
@@derekladyga1716no keyboard warriors needed here, it's embarrassing
Ngannou: "he might be doing kung fu.. but at the end of the day it is 2 men fighting". This is elite mentality from Ngannou!
Francis is the type of guy you only hope your kids look up to. What a great dude
💯
Dana White absolutely crazy for thinking someone like Ngannou would be scared of anyone. No one or no fight can ever compare to what he went through just to get to US, let alone becoming the champ
Yeah, and he already had losses in his career, he knows how to deal with it, if anything it was Jones who was scared of losing his 0.
@NigalasCage213Nah he sat for 3 years like a pussy taking roids. He fought a nobody for his return.
@NigalasCage213 When you bring up who Dom Reyes was, jones fans bring up who he is now. When you bring up who Ngannou is now, jones fans bring up who he was before improving. You can never win.
@NigalasCage213 so you mean in terms of career moves for Ngannou, fighting Jones in MMA is scary but fighting Fury in boxing is not scary? Your logic would've worked if Ngannou would've gone out of MMA looking for easy boxing fights or even exhibition matches. Not to mention, Ngannou played his hand strongly with UFC and every other promotion. Nobody HAD to give him everything he asked for just because he left UFC the heavyweight champ without fighting Jones. He made bold career moves and made it work, like any smart professional would do. But for Dana or anyone to say that he left because he was scared of fighting Jones is just bullshit
That's Dana White for you. Unfortunately Dana has fan boys that believe everything that comes out of his mouth. Dana even said that Dana White privilege doesn't even exist! That's his biggest lie to date.
This guy expressing the shame of being homeless and working his ass off out of poverty is the kind of person America needs. He’s so appreciative, talented, and humble. God bless you Francis
The misconception Of people being homeless and jobless in America is the testament of How the System is to it's own society, Not the assumption of people's laziness or unwillingness to work. hyper Inflation, Taxpayer money Embezzlement, Corruption in all levels of Government, and a undying image of if you don't have money you are "nothing". Those wanting to earn a honest living in a middle or lower income class are having the carpet they stand on pulled from underneath them no matter how hard they work, Their paycheque is going into the pockets of a rigged system and is the literal death of two classes just to survive for scraps. If you can't see that then please save your "Pull yourself by the bootstraps" mentality Because even so people are getting kicked when they are down. Those in The upper middle class and millionaire/billionaire status are so disconnected from the country they supposedly represent that it is laughable thinking they have empathy for the rest of the country.
erm, in America he'd have been homeless and without healthcare, since he had no income. only in a developed society could he get the nurturing he needed to become a champ. America wastes more potential than any other developed country in the world. Your massive population ensures enough get through to keep the illusion going
It is not a shame to be homeless.
The story of him getting to France was so intense . After watching that I believe he can do anything
@@anonymousbrowsing2909 He can. Philippians 4:13
How can you not love Francis Ngannou? Pure and honest.
Francis is the definition of a champion!!!
Scariest man alive aside from Jon jones. Those two people are the baddest men on the planet if you dont count criminals.
Well said!
@@_TheWildman This your M.O.? TWO word (for all you ass clowns🤡 on technicalities alert) so you can get a highlighted response 🤣. Sad.
@@DJake78one word?
@@DJake78I think the commenter said two words….
Francis is deceptively smart. Brains AND muscle
@@CarlosLockhart67 I'm really wondering, who else connected so many things together in his brain.
Education and intelligence are 2 different things
This guy has literally gone through worst problems in life, working in the sand mines in cameroon, crossing from morocco to spain in a boat just to survive, working in a french gym to train coz he didn't had any money. Francis you are a hell of a champion in life brother❤
When Francis said "when you don't have money everything is expensive" the expression of lron Mike is priceless.. 18:13
time stamp?
@@PumKnH3D 18:13
Mike felt that deeper than a KO punch
You really see a Man nowadays, and Francis is that. What an inspiration. And none of the aggressiveness or malice, or chauvinism in him, none of that faux macho posing. Just a strong, gentle, intelligent and kind soul who reflects on his human journey with incredible perspective. A Hero’s Journey.
I remember following him as he appeared in the UFC, not speaking any English just a few years ago, and now he’s fluent.
You rarely see a man misspell rarely nowadays.
@@himanshujoshi6587 hahah, true. It’s more of a total miss than a misspell.
@@pavelg4990 cheers mate. It happens!
Francis Ngannou’s journey is so inspirational, from working in sand mines in Cameroon as a kid to immigrating to France, with no money, being homeless, training in MMA, becoming a star in the UFC and the Heavyweight champion, then he decided to bet on him self, left the UFC, signed with the PFL and now will be the chairman of PFL Africa as well as getting the big money fight with Tyson Fury, what a journey 👏👏👏👏👏👏
People got Francis wrong with that UFC contract situation, he did what he felt is best for him and his family and nobody should be judged 4 that. He seems like a real nice and humble man
Unfortunately in this society, people love to shit on other people and everyone is a judge. In summary, do what’s best for you no matter the criticism.
no they DIDNT THEY JUST HATE HIM CAUSE HES BLACK...nuff said
@@catchwreck928 Maybe, some people just hate no matter what the skin tone is
As a HUGE UFC fan I don't think many of us hate him for what he did. He did stall out his fights and sure it was annoying at the time but most fans agree that all fighters should be getting more money for what they are doing.
@@Sambochini
Which fight did he stall?
I’m not into ufc more of a boxing fan this guy motivated me to check out his fights. And now After hearing his story I even support him even more it’s inspiring and makes me thankful.
For such a huge and powerful champion, he’s so soft spoken and humble to himself and others. Mad respect
That is the result of harsh suffering on a good heart.
I really surprised. I thought he is a cocky, arrogant person... And you are right.
@@PaulusdeKenezypmfao
tyson fury will make him look like an amateur
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n what does that have to do with the original post?…
I love how Francis is very opinionated and not afraid to disagree with Mike. He’s a smart guy.
One of the few that can 😂
@@neoyasechaba221 lol
This was one of the greatest interview’s he has done yet. Love his story and his humility.
Funniest also!
Nobody talks about how mentally tough and intelligent he is. They're two things that win fights.
I like this fight a lot.
Francis is the living embodiment of the saying our parents would tell us "dont complain somebody in another part of the world has it 100x as worse" when we complain about having to eat at home n not get mcdonalds, not getting a new video game the day it comes out or all the other bs we would complain about as kids
Actually they have it better because some of our parents hold us back from reaching our true potential
@@killumiinatii96thats the worst excuse for anything ive ever heard
@@urbansamurai261they do have it better.. brics is here.. these people are all hard like francis 1 brics unit will be 55 dollars.. prepare yourself cause I aint seeing it in the news you guys are powerless.. truth will hit ya soon..
@@Zuentax is this in English
08:17 bud. Literally saying the opposite of this
Coming from Oakland California in the 60's & 70's and going through hard times and now being a cancer survivor of almost 20 years I am so grateful for all the great people I have met and meeting mike Tyson and the way he treated me was just amazing. I felt the power but the kindness was incredible. Thanks again Mike. Love your style. Keep on Hotboxin.
could listen to Francis talking for hours. his state of mind and stories are always fascinating
Same here. So in love with his voice.
I subscribe to you 🙏🏼
Francis is the only person where Mike actually listen and responds, and is present. Everyone else, mike says whatevet the hell comes to mind
I am rooting for Ngannou - And if I’m honest the fact that Mike is training him has increased my support for Ngannou-I like Fury too but I’m a Iron Mike fan🤷🏽♂️
That final moment about creating his perfect family in his mind is wild, that hit me. Just think about his journey and imagine him being on that boat or being in the desert just trying to get to the west, how many times in his life he has had to go back to that just to steel his resolve. Shit crazy bruh.
And then becoming a ufc champion and fighting know for the heavyweight championship with Mike tyson as a coach, who was his role model as a kid.
Bro thats sick not every mans capability
These are not just two champions. These are legends.
How??? Look up the word legend then stop being so damn foolish mate
Francis is a legend of what? He ain't no legend in the MMA world that's for sure! Records speak for themselves unless you're a Diaz!
@@leodeleon2011ablebut doesn’t francis have a record for hardest punch power?
@@teenmetalwhat a record punching a machine 😲 wow what a legacy 🤡
@@leodeleon2011able records speak for themselves
Mike and Francis will grow so much together. Not only physically but mentally and spiritually. I can see Francis is comfortable around Mike.
I think he should be on hotboxin every second show
I swear I feel that sweeeeet chemistry were the guy is, your friend, your rival and your coach. Exactly like you said they'll grow alot.
I think he’ll be a regular host , stay tuned , they are already talking about it !
At the same time Francis is one of the scariest and nicest guys in the world. Never seen something like that ever.
cant believe how much dana disrespected him
I was there when he fought his first fight when MMA wasn't allowed in France it was pancreas and seeing him now next to Tyson speaking English fluently and all he accomplished he blessed I wish him many more success
53:33-55:15 had Mike like:😞 & had me like:🥺 the whole time. Almost unimaginable trauma & anguish he went thru & it's still hurts to hear everytime he tells his story. True inspiration..this guy Francis is
shit made me tear up, francis should have kids, he'd be a great father.
'
i feel you guys. that's so fuckin sad 😢
Because you know damn well Mike relates so hard to that. You can tell by his reaction
It's one of the saddest things i ever heard of, i really want Francis to win, but i think he already won.
Cusdmato's wisdom is still resonating till this day. That wisdom is being transferred to Francis Ngannou through the likes and Teddy Atlas and Mike Tyson. Francis Ngannou is such a good dude, a true gentle giant, that he deserves to gain the wisdom of the great Cusdmato.
Exactly. if mike takes this seriously, imagine ngannou using the peekaboo style against the taller man in tyson fury. that would be historic
D'amato
This man has the power of Vibranium in his hands. His story alone can actually be embedded in a Black Panther story in the Marvel comic universe. This man has that Wakanda Power.
I love fancies Ngannou, he has all my support. He puts a giant smile on my face, coupled working with Mike Tyson wow I am grateful to experience this.
Dynamite
3:15 “They don’t schedule fight in the street.” 💀
If this man ever beat someone up in the streets, whoever that person is must of done something wrong for something like that to ever happen. The guy is such a good person inside and out.
I respect Francis sooooo much. This guy went through hell but turned the tables. What a LEGEND! What an Inspiration
Love this guy. As a British European, who has loved all around, been to Africa, faced adversity, he collectively brings in a lot of the right qualities in a human being, man and fighter.
I'm curious. I read once that the similarities between countries out weigh the differences, and that the same economic class in two countries are more similar than two classes in the same country. Do you see any truth in that?
Mike is old but you can tell his warrior spirit has not retire yet.
Francis Ngannou is the only guy who isn't scared of Mike and refuses to be a YES MAN haha
Love to see it!
When Nganou said " The problem is how to sharpen the weapon to have the bomb" and I liked it when Mike said: "That is why I am here" You can tell he knows his stuffs
Francis being security and being a bouncer makes sense, but him being the one scared the police would show up is hilarious and crazy at the same time! I know how nervous I get when the cops mess with me while sober and doing nothing wrong...... I can't imagine having all the stress he did hanging over my head 24/7. It explains why he's so mentally strong till this day, and I can't wait till they make his life story into a movie and he gets the respect and shine he truly deserves!! Much love and respect to u Francis, and u as well Mike!! ✌️
Francis is such a humble and nice guy for being so damn dangerous lol.
I love his story. I’m happy for all of his success
I just filmed the promo advert for the NGannu Fury fight, in the UK. Francis is an absolute giant of a man - there isn't a small bit about him. His calves and ankles are absolutely huge, too! He's a humble gentleman and I hope he gives Fury hell.
What a humble man...Francis...love u already....and Mike the legend...also humble and honest..about life..memories to cherish...the story of Francis is remarkable...love Africa and Africans !
He's a great man and a good heart. He has worked hard for everything he has. I'm a fan.. And he's not just a strong brut . He's very intelligent and humble. Incredible story 👏
"When you don’t have money everything is expensive. It wasn't about the price" I like that
Omg can you imagine being the kid that gets trained by these two..God bless them both
Are you saying they should have a baby
I’ll never forget meeting this guy, absolute class act wishing the best for him.
This is one hell of a story... Now am inspired to do more than i have been. He's so humble and respectful and very thoughtful
If you want to hear Francis tell more of his story, he goes into far more detail on Joe Rogan's podcast. Truly an inspiring story. For example, he crossed the Straight of Gibraltar on a toy dingy with several other men without really knowing how to swim, and the scars that you can see on his chest when he fights are from getting caught up in the barbed wire border fences one of the many times he got caught by police and then released in the desert. It is really a story that should be heard.
the difference between Nganno and Tyson is Mike Tyson has got game. Mike Tyson knows how to use his swag when it comes to the females. Francis Nganno is such a good dude that he doesn't even know how to have that kind of swag to use it for his advantage. It's real refreshing to see a good dude get his due without ever being an arrogant prick about it.
mike was being an arrogant prick to get women or brag about it??
musta missed that part
Great interview
Francis is going to be champ
Hes a geat guy , great fighter, smart. Also came from nothing to helping his family back home.
thanks champ for another great show.
Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸
"When you don't have no money, everything is expensive". Shit that hits man.
Fantastic interview, this guy's story so far is already a movie waiting to be made. Anything else he achieves now is just a bonus, he's already a huge winner and true champion.
Francis after Fury, 24 months in Russia wrestling with big guys and his legacy will go beyond legendary
Francis ngannu said when you don’t have the money everything is expensive!!!
Lol brilliant
francis is so well spoken , this man needs to have a movie in the future his life is unfking real .
Please give us a majority of wide shots of the whole crew while they interact. with this split screen it doesn't even seem as if they are all together. Thanks, love the pod
That's so insane that he didn't really start seriously doing MMA until he got the UFC contract. That is literally crazy. You can tell the first Stipe fight that he was still new and he progressed so much. Ufc fucked up bad treating this great man the way he did. All the respect to you Francis and to your success
i mean its not everyday you see someone meeting and being friends with his childhood idle or living such a dream of being trained by someone you looked up to as a child...its awesome .both this two guys are great ,they are fighters .they come out of hardship. That's what makes them get along so well and understand each other. The appreciation they show not only to themselves but to their supporter its so contagious...its about endurance, its about triumph, its about sacrifice, its about risk and we can go on. its so inspiring. Thank you guys for your story. it has lighten me up.
Francis is the champ, a softspoken gentleman that made the most out of what he was given and knows his worth , wishing you only the best❤️
It blows my mind this channel dont have at least 3 million subscribers this is the best podcast on the internet
Francis is such a nice guy man... sometimes we get mad because he didn't fight Jones but to be honest this guy is already a champ and a winner in life. Hope he get all the millions in the world. What a warrior!! I'm rooting for you in whatever you choose to do.
What a class act...I like how he's expressing him self with no filter now. Respect
Nganou has my utmost respect. He is incredibly smart and intelligent . He chooses his words wisely . Mike Tyson always talks facts.
Huge respect to the GOAT and future champ of boxing completing his childhood ambition. Nganou is an inspiration.
You can tell Francis had a good upbringing and that has been the reason why he has succeeded.
Always nice to see someone that keeps Mike on edge without trying.
Mike had me cracking-up throughout the episode. 🤣🤣Congratulations to you both. 👏
Imagine saying to Mike your a funny guy and he reacts like Joe Pesci 😂
Mike is funny asf, always makes me laugh out loud.
@@bigv3862😂😂😂😂😂
"How did you wash?"
"Wash what?"
"Your ass" 😂😂😂 gotta love how brutally honest Mike is. I don't think many people have actually moved Mike in the way Francis story does. I think Francis may be one of the only people Mike can actually relate to the adversity one can experience. Francis remains so elegantly spoken and it's an absolute privilege to witness the minds of the two baddest men to ever walk the planet. Much Respect to you both!
Amazing interview! Francis Ngannou is the man, inspirational journey, from working in the sand mines of Cameroon to being a worldwide mega star 🌟 happy to see him finally get the big money fight against Tyson Fury 👏👏👏👏👏
Mike: "If you can make it in America you can make it anywhere"
Francis: "....No"
shit had me dying
francis the only guy i seen not suck up to tyson😂
@@TheMMAHawkfrancis also a noname
@@Ehrle6969you named him
You can tell he cud of grilled Mike on that
He's right...No. it should be, if you can make it out of Africa, you can make it anywhere in the world
The fight Francis has fought to be alive and in the position he is today. There really isn't a bigger fight than that!
Love seeing how far this podcast has gone. I remember watching Danny Trejo get interviewed on the first season of this podcast. It’s come a super long way. So proud of Mike!
Never thought we’d see this side of mike… he’s loving every moment, awesome stuff
Lol ya he really enjoys his time with ngannou and coaching him is forging a nice bond
love when he said he's coaching ngannou till the end
6:43 man this is so deep and true, when you have nothing to lose you just go all in even if its terrible
The contrast between these two guys is hilarious... yet they get on well... love francis... what a gentle and beautiful soul
I love how he always stands on what he says. He’s so jovial and his charisma through the roof. I feel like he’s going to be bigger than fighting after his fighting career. Very intelligent
I concur
Mike asking him about dating while broke killed me. “Trust me i clean up well”😭
💀💀💀😅
Long-time Fury fanboy but I hope Francis shocks the world and puts him out.
This is so inspirational knowing Francis Nganou was watching mike back in Cameroon on CZcams and today they are working together to make his dreamcome true. What a dream come true
13:13
M: How did you wash?
F: Wash what?
killed me))
Francis has got monster sized arms, him throwing a punch with an arm that size has got to be like getting hit by a tree with tree arms, Yowzas. I have a feeling we're going to see Fury hit the canvas at least once during this match, I can't wait, Francis and Mike make a greatest duo, two of the baddest dudes to be born from a mother, and their demeanor yin yang is perfect, Francis is so zen, and Mike is an animal in the best of ways, Love it, need more of it. They need their own show, I don't even care if it's about fighting, it could be about bowling and I'd watch every episode.
Bingo…I think it should be hotboxin starring Tyson and ngannou
Bingo exactly, I concur
Well he did hit the canvas, at least once, exactly like you said it
Mike really tones down his usual alpha energy when he’s around Francis. Must be interesting talking to someone who isn’t the least bit intimidated by him.
Interesting! Noticed this too
He does but Mike still Mike. @37:26 and @37:41 Mike checked the co-host when he asked many times they train in a week. 😂😂
@@bernardcohen2936that quit fkin wi me man was for real lmao
“You can’t even ask them [the people who Francis fought] about his power-they’re still knocked out.” - Mr. Tyson 😂😂
Mike Tyson’s sense of humor is impeccable lol, looking forward to this fight
I wanna see Dana's reaction to this hahahahaha love you mike
Mike asked you go on dates ? after the homless story lol love mike
DANA: TYSON WAS NEVER MY FRIEND!🤧
Probably being petty about it, but damn well know he can't say shit to Mike lol.
Tyson is a menace 😂
Great to see Ngannou's honesty, dignity, and wisdom not only in this interview but in all his other interviews. He truly is an inspiring human being.
Him not turning back on the boat ride over reflects with the way he fights 👊💪
This man is the epitome of rise against struggle. I honestly hope he finds the lottery winner against Fury. It’s going to be hard but honestly, if he does somehow manage to land a big shot, I don’t think fury will get up from it in time, Francis is a freak of nature. What he’s been prepared to do and then done it to create a chance for himself and his family is a beautiful story. I honestly wish him the best.❤
Once you hear the way RAMPAGE says "Ngannou" you'll never not hear it that way😂😂😂😂
There's no one alive I want to sit and talk to more than Mike Tyson.
Truly appreciate the banter between Mike and Kid
So humble.... Gentle Giant 💪
One of the only athletes I truly look up to and am motivated by still. Such a crazy lift story and not even finished
You should never look-up to fighters
or anyone else
💙🌱.
Listen to your heart.
@@TheTruthness2011 bot
how i wish mike tyson was my neighbour.. i would always wanna go chill with him at the backyard garden sitting under a tree and just getting life wisdom and crazy old stories...lollll...such a nice dude,,i really enjoy where he is at right now.a peaceful soul
What a brilliant, kind, humble and philosophical fella.
No wonder the corporations don't support him, he speaks from the heart with compassion and wisdom. Very dangerous and unpredictable for them.
Wow respect to your comment gentleman !
