Who wins between him and Tony Yoka? Francis Ngannou cash: “I…

By Guillaume K. | Sports journalist

When Francis Ngannou started professional boxing, Tony Yoka didn’t really believe in him. However, the Predator showed very good things against Tyson Fury, before being knocked out by Anthony Joshua. But between the Frenchman and the Predator, who would win? Ngannou answered cash.

After his KO loss to Anthony Joshua, some worried about Francis Ngannou. It must be said that he was 37 years old at the time and that at that age, finding yourself unconscious in a cage can leave significant after-effects. How many fighters have lost their legendary toughness after being knocked out for the first time?

This is perhaps what explains the analysis of some specialists before his return to competition against Renan Ferreira. The Brazilian also being a monster of power, many saw him winning quite easily against the Predator, this was particularly the case for Jon Jones. Predictions which have obviously aged poorly.

Francis Ngannou lists the men he could defeat

Because the former UFC champion made short work of his opponent and proved to the world that he was still the benchmark among heavyweights. Obviously given confidence by this demonstration, Francis Ngannou has just made a rather crazy declaration during his appearance on Konbini. For each personality mentioned, he had to say if he thought he could beat her in a fight:

There’s no point playing your game, because whoever it is, I’m going to say I can beat them. Jon Jones, I beat him. For what ? Because I am me, I am better. Tony Yoka, I beat him. Jean-Claude Van Damme I don’t even want to fight against him, he’s not old enough. Jackie Chan the same. Then it remains to be seen whether what we see on TV is real. Actor and fighter are often two very different things.

He may do his own choreography on set, but we don’t do that. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is not a fighter. He’s cool, but he’s not my age group, so out of respect, there are people I’m not going to fight.

Francis Ngannou isn’t nicknamed “the scariest man on the planet” for nothing, he is convinced he can beat anyone on this planet, including Jon Jones. Moreover, even if it is not his discipline and he has never won a single fight in the ring, he is also convinced of being able to overcome Tony Yoka in boxing. In fact, it is only the old ones like The Rock and Jean-Claude Van Damme that he is ready to spare.

Francis Ngannou regained all his confidence after the victory against Renan Ferreira for his return to the world of MMA. And now he is convinced he can beat anyone, even Jon Jones and Tony Yoka.
