Thanks to Francis for taking part! If you want to hear more from Francis, subscribe to his CZcams channel: czcams.com/channels/hZJvI9kR_TlUTQSObAn8fg.html
I just subscribed mate 👊
Francis is delusional if he thinks he can outbox Tyson Fury. The Gypsy King will live on forever one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time .. now that being said Tyson Fury takes those boxing boxing gloves off and they allowed to throw elbows and knees Francis would take his soul no doubt
ngannou loses to tyson fury because he has no cardio
This man will smack up Tyson fury and fury knows it
@@keelychow7065 Francis has no chance against the gypsy king in the boxing ring .. Francis is not a boxer he's a sluger lol
Ngannou was more than just homeless, he traveled thousands of kilometres just to be homeless, his story is insane
Well said
Exactly! The man wasn't just homeless, he traveled thousands of miles to then become homeless and then worked his way up from there. His story sounds like a movie tbh
Honestly makes you appreciate what you have, it’s mad
@@ExposeEm419 honestly. I can now never feel like shit 😂
If it’s true…
Makes you feel ridiculously privileged that most of us “won” the place of birth lottery where opportunity is everywhere, yet this man had to go through life and death experiences, homelessness and yet he remained positive. No wonder he’s such a good fighter, he’s done it since birth. Inspirational
I guess if you are born into poverty and you have nothing, all you have is hope, and anything that is even slightly better than we're you started is a bonus.
@@gutz323 keep guessin
@@gordo965 surely if you ever are at or hit rock bottom, the only way is up? And any 'up' is better than we're you was.
It really is a place of birth lottery!
The Travel through the desert did him good now he goes back to the jungle with many riches
What an incredible human being. Been through more than most and still so humble and soft spoken. This man is a LEGEND.
No matter what happens with this mans fighting career, the definite thing about him is that he's won at life!
Ngannou is such an inspiration. Came from less than nothing and built a name for himself and his family. Also goes back and has helped his community more than most successful people would.
I'm a Cameroonian and proud to be. I'm proud of my brother, he's become like a big symbol to us here. I see people in the comments surprised at his story but it's the reality and quite routine here. He made it out, so many die trying to cross the deserts, the ocean etc going for greener pastures, because here the option are more than gloom, most people can't even afford to eat once in two days, no government programs , no jobs damn!!! we don't even have drugs to sell😂😂. Sometimes I see people in Europe and especially complain about their lives with the opportunities they got and just wonder. More than, 70% of youths in this country will be more than happy go America and wash corpses literally, as he said all we want is opportunity and we will grasp it with our lives, because we know what it is like where we from, anything that will guarantee us a meal a day and we're in there.
@@k9cfc look at the old photos of him he was no where near the size he is now. He’s trained for years
@@k9cfc yes because he’s always looked that way 🤨
Jesus
@@k9cfc your height is mostly due to genetics than diet. There are plenty of people who grew up in poverty but are tall and thin. If they eat they can become big guys. If it were due to diet it would mean all poor people are short
I’m from Congo(BZV) and just seeing somebody from Africa make it this big gives me courage
I feel you brother 💯
Loved the way he spoke of admiring Tyson Fury for being free and speaking freely, great interview. Francis is a true warrior and a gentleman.
And a Warrior and a Gentleman will not bow to a money-loving piece of shit like Dana.
I pray he gets the fight with Fury. The outcome of that fight would be guaranteed.
Francis would get paid his worth and more money in that one fight than in his total UFC career.
@@winstonbrown1516 💯correct my man, Dana ripping off his fighters terribly for years now. I’d love to see him fight Fury and both make a fortune.
@@peterthe3rdbanks287
Listen to what GSP says about fighter pay now. He say because of the infrastructure now fighters may have gotten more money in his day than today. @1hr.15min: czcams.com/video/JtIM0M4RGi8/video.html
@@winstonbrown1516 Fertitta is the real piece of shit, hiding behind Dana and other figures in the UFC, Dana doesnt control much anymore, but has to tank the blame, and always does which is kinda shitty in its own rite.
What a humble guy
I was born in a country without much opportunity. I moved to a country where all my dreams could come true but I’m struggling to stay due to the immigration process here. Even though my journey was nowhere near as bad as Francis’s, I still feel him and his struggle on a personal level. What an inspirational guy.
Same situation.
Mate ,
There are so much resources in this world. Nobody should go through this situations. If current wmpires wouldn't keep this countries in poverty this world would be a much nicer place for everyone.
same m8
As impressive as Francis is as an athlete his absolute mastery of English in a few short years speaks volumes about the man's level of intelligence. He is a hell of a guy and I hope he fulfills all his dreams as he has obviously worked very hard to get where he is. A true self made success story. Francis should form a Fighters Union and keep the UFC honest
Yeah because the UFC is corrupt AF. Dana White is an asshole taking advantage of the people who made him who he is.
In a sport full of trash talkers, loud mouths and supersized egos, this man is incredibly unique. I don't think I've ever seen anyone like him.
That's because in the 'entertainment' industry/ combat sports- the big characters get the big money, fans, good contracts and sell out arenas etc, and alot basically puts on a bit of an act, which is why this man doesn't sell well/ ppv, humble and reserved doesn't sell, it's a shame really as I'm just happy to watch the best fight the best.
What are you talking about? He has an inflated ego! Don’t be fooled.
Heavyweight division has tons of humble individuals (both past and present: Eg- Bon Gamin, Aspinall, JDS, Cain etc). It is just the lower weight classes which have the loud mouths (most of the time it is an act for the extra moolah).
@@untill1289 the thing with him though is that people think he's quite a boring fighter in the octagon aswell.
@@beasttitan1920he sounds determined, not arrogant.
What a story!!!! His life should be made into a movie. I hope he gets the Fury fight this man deserves every penny.
He seems like a such a nice guy, with a humble begginings and you can clearly see emotions in his talk. He remembers everything in his path to become world champion and that's what's important.
*Well said*
No way he made it on this channel what a GOAT
Nahhh bro. He deserves to Be on the channel but he not even top 5 goats
no way he made it in tins fucking CZcams channel? seriously? he's the HW champion of the world... more like as if Lad Bible got him on the channel...
the channel is lucky to have him
This gentleman is the epitome of “mind over matter”. After all, he went through, and he just kept going. True warrior mindset. They say, “if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger” he is a perfect example of that. Please drop Tyson 🙏 and drop him good.
Good luck with that 😂
@@gregordrizzlewing7339 It's the fight game, and it takes one punch. It happened before and can happen again.
@@chihotdog1554 ain’t happened to fury though has it? Mong 😂
You get dropped by your missus mark calm down
He has got absolutely no chance whatsoever against Tyson fury , none whatsoever
A very intelligent man, much respect.
Just hearing his story is mind blowing, most of us can’t comprehend what he has been through to get to this point. Francis Ngannou you are an inspiration to all & I hope one day the disputes with Dana pay off, and fighters receive more pay for what they do for the UFC.
watching his English improve so much over the years is insane. truly one of my heroes and I hope he is yours too
Imagine winning the heavyweight championship of the world yet you have already fought and won your biggest fight by escaping poverty and the streets. Incredible story.
Not just poverty & streets, he escaped Africa through Morocco with a fucking inflatable boat, paddled with his hands when they lost their oars due to hard weather.
Attempted it 7 times, and one of those attempts he got stuck in barbwire, fuckin nuts. The entire story can be found from JRE podcast where he details the entire journey.
and he fathered a lot of children. Guys blessed
Listen to his story , it’s incredible. Mad respect for this titan of a man.
Francis is an inspiration ..He deserves world wide recognition outside of the MMA community.
Wow, humble, soft spoken, intelligent. What a bloke. Serious respect for what he’s gone through and what he’s become.
Honestly, one of the sweetest guys out there.
Anything for the money you oversized nobody 🤣 tys9n make y9u look a bump fighter in b9xing.... turn it in lad
True freaking warrior man!! His story is so inspiring like no other... He deserves every bit of success he well earned it
This was fascinating... He's a really good storyteller and his respect as well as humility comes through everything he says.
what a humble man he is.
A film will be made about this man for sure .. what a story 🤲
How calm is he? Like everyone else does all the screaming shouting..and the dudes really calm
Inspirational bloke. A pleasure to listen to and watch fight. I can imagine him and Tyson being mates quite easily
I absolutely love this man.
It's always the ones that come from this type back ground I admire the most.
I love watching and listening to this gentle giant speak
Such an honest and descriptive speaker. Respect.
Only respect for this gentleman.
this guys story is inspirational
wow this is an unbelievable story, brought a tear to my eye :') what an amazing and inspiring story, I wish you all the best in life!
I love the way he articulates himself and talks so well. Good luck 🥊
His journey, to where he is now is nothing short of amazing. Extremely articulate, and yet softly spoken , even throughout all of his hardship. The world title couldn't have gone to a more humble person. Well done Francis.
Francis Nganou what a man, such an humble man, he as been through what no human being should have to endure, and look what he as done after such an horrible beginning, Ufc World Heavyweight Champion, Legend 🥊🥊🙏
I respect 🫡 this man so much after watching his life story. I cried first time watching his interview
Legend give the man a pay 💰 day
Wow what a story from Francis this is truly inspiring. You will never understand what it means to travel the road he traveled just to find himself. It is always a tin line separating life and death on that road. And he found himself. I am old but yet still feel very inspired by the story and journey of Francis.
Surprised by his calm and conquered by his smile. That´s a real champ, in the ring and above all in life!
One of the most inspirational story ever ❤️ 👏 🙌 🙏
Amazing story. Great work getting to where you are today.
Absolutely fantastic man with a real winners story, coming from such a hard life that none of us could imagine really to becoming the UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP and hardest hitting man on earth, hes beloved in his country and i can see why hes a gentle giant until the bell goes a true gentleman and i wish him all the success in the world
Luv this guy so humble, even after becoming world champ still seems to be same person
What a phenomenal man of resilience and fantastic interview!
I love his story and admire his humbleness and fierce determination.
Ngannou is an inspiration to everyone that anything is possible if you dont give up
He ain't beating Tyson Fury tho. Lemme tell ya!
Baddest man alive. Sweet melodious voice. Beautiful.
Love how the Narrator has subtitles but Francis doesn't! He's become so well spoken, very marketable and likable too.
What a story, what a man, what a human
He's so awe inspiring. An awesome fighter, in the ring and through out his life to get where he is at. God bless him!
they're going to make a movie about this guy!!! such an insane story ❤
What a legand and a humble guy, doesn't make out he is some victim but accepts what he went through. I wish him good health and wealth inshallah
I love this man! Never give up
This man went through hell just for the opportunity to train as a fighter! His determination is inspiring and he deserves every ounce of respect he gets 👏
Such a cool dude, much respect
wow what an amazing, humble man! All the very best you deserve it.
I love that you got someone of a different story on here, especially francis!
Man's the definition of the word inspiration
Francis deserves all the good things in his life right now. He's earned every bit of it.
Besides the story. There is something legendary about this man. The aura. The energy? I dont know.
For those that don't understand why Francis wants his next fight to be in the Boxing world (most likely vs Fury), read this,
* Francis's LAST UFC FIGHT (where he defended his Heavyweight belt) = he made $650 thousand
* Dillian Whyte's (good fighter but not as marketable / popular as Francis) last fight = $7.4 million
Francis's contract with the UFC ends soon and he will be a free agent at the end of this year. Even though UFC want to negotiate a new contract with Francis, they don't want to pay even a fraction of what Francis could make in a boxing fight. Francis knows this as well, he knows his worth, he wants to stay with the UFC but not be paid & treated the way he has.
There is definitely more money in boxing. Should he get a shot to face Fury? Not immediately, he shouldn’t get a title shot. Fight some other boxers than maybe he can get in the ring with Fury
Boohoo, he made 650k for a single fight while the majority of the world does a years work for 50k.
@@lazarusdigital those people making 50k didn’t work their ass off from birth, travel 1000 miles to BECOME homeless just to work themselves up, just shutup.
@@lazarusdigital that’s not the point. If you worked in McDonald’s and everyone’s earning £10 an hour and you’re earning £2, you’d be annoyed.
Must be shite being treated with 650k. You're only worth what peiple are willing to pay for you. Join boxing and earn more money if that's what he wants. Statements like "he knows his worth" ufc doesn't go overboard with their payouts . That's something that should be looked at in a positive light. We all quick to complain when football players are 20 mil a year. The moment an organisation says "fuck that" it's simps like you that go "he knows his worth " wtf
He's so gentle and soft spoken... Amazing to think that this guy is one of the most dangerous fighters alive when he gets in the ring!
big love for this guy
Francis’ story is amazing. Hes so likeable and holy crap hes a beast in the ring!!! 😲😲😲
I like his accent and his voice. Humble giant!
Truly inspirational backstory to his success.
His story is like a movie Hollywood need to get in touch to make a movie about him.
I love how he gives hope to his entire country.
this is wonderful !!
I feel like Tyson giving Francis a fight, is only for Francis to have a pay day, Tyson knows Francis was done dirty by the UFC.
This
How was he done dirty? How did you even hear the name Francis ngannou? Are you a fan of random African fighting leagues? No... You're a UFC fan boy and you know of him because Dana White made him. So how was he done dirty? The guy sucks at fighting. Big and African doesn't mean good fighter.
@@Jerryfromtheblocm So he's the heavyweight champion because he's a shit fighter? Just curious.
That's because in the 'entertainment' industry/ combat sports- the big characters and exciting fighters get the big money, fans, good contracts and sell out arenas etc, and alot basically puts on a bit of an act to do that which is why this man doesn't sell well/ ppv, humble and reserved doesn't sell well, it's a shame really as I'm just happy to watch the best fight the best most of the time but Dana doesn't need him as he'll probably lose money on Francis.
@@Jerryfromtheblocm can feel the hate in your comment no one talked about being from Africa makes you a good fighter? Sad life you have🤣
What a story, true gent and very determined to succeed in life! U can achieve anything once you set your mind to it.
my man saying the title isnt the pinnacale says it all! my man came from struggle! thats the point he realised he and his family got no worries nomore! and we fucking love that!
So humble 🙏
Humbled to a new level. I bet his story does no justice to the actual hardship
he is like the type of person ur happy is a beast
Respect , hopefully someday a movie about journey
Francis 👑🙏🏾 love humans like this guy and love human like Tyson, both in their own way true inspirations
What an amazing guy!
What a genuinely humble, grounded & well spoken guy (I could listen to him talk all day long)...his self belief & long hard road to success is truly inspirational & wishing him continued success & luck for the future...!!!😘😘😘
such a great role model for all the kids from his country.
Great video
What a calming voice
His podcast with Mike Tyson is even more telling! Awesome story
Really inspirational
Mad respect
Man he came from absolutely nothing much respect to him we’ll done for coming so far
what a giant of a man with a heart of a giant lion 🦁❤️ an inspiration to our children ❤️❤️💚💚
What an INCREDIBLE and touching story!!!
What a humble, genuine, strong minded man!!
I truly wish every human being would grow up in a peaceful and free life with peace and plenty
Very inspiring
Legend, Humble one too!
He is a very Humble person.
We love you Ngannou you will be always our champ & people needs to hear your story
Best video ever 💎
Incredible athlete and fighter! Incredible story and man very inspirational, very dominant ufc/MMA fighter. However in a stand up boxing match with either traditional boxing gloves or MMA gloves he will get taken to school by fury in a very very brutal manner. If the pay day is worth it then do it but if not leave that well alone mate
They need to make a movie about this man’s life
Awesome. 🙌🏼
MAD RESPECT
A living testiment to your limits don't set your bar you set your fuckin limits... What a humble happy human even after all that struggle had all the excuses in the world to give up throw in the towel, takes a different kind of determination to keep a grip on you dreams in struggle like that but man's turned all that pain and struggle into pure power of the body and soul. Gonna try all my life to be a 10th of the man he is... Whata fuckin G.
