The possible clash between Reug-Reug and Francis Ngannou is fueling all the conversations, particularly after the brilliant performance of the Senegalese wrestler at One Championship. According to Reug-Reug, a Spanish promoter would have offered an impressive sum of 15 million dollars, or approximately 9.3 billion FCFA, to organize this long-awaited duel.
If this fight were to materialize, Reug-Reug, whose real name is Omar Kane, announced that he would definitively draw a line under his wrestling career. “ Let’s be clear: I cannot face Francis Ngannou and continue the fight. I will receive billions of FCFA. I could come back as a promoter to organize fights. But one thing is certain, if this fight happens, I will stop the fight.” he said.
