Earlier this month, it was announced that Francis Ngannou has signed on the dotted line for a boxing showdown with Tyson Fury. It’s been heavily teased for a while now, and it’s finally going to happen later this year in Saudi Arabia.

It’s the kind of blockbuster move that Francis Ngannou had been promising for a long time. The expectation, of course, is that he’ll receive the biggest payday of his career by a country mile.

In terms of the figure, however, there have been some conflicting reports. According to Jake Paul, ‘The Predator’ will easily be making over eight figures.

“Francis got 8 figures. Not $8 million. Get it right.”

“To all the twitter geniuses: 8 figures = $10,000,000+ and Francis deserves every bit of it.”

With the fight going down in Saudi Arabia, this was always likely to be a strong possibility. One of Ngannou’s biggest reasons for leaving the UFC was due to being underpaid, and it seems as if he’s going to rectify that issue with this one contest.

A lot of fans would prefer to see him compete in MMA, and even the UFC. Alas, he seems to be doing what’s best for him, and nobody can begrudge him of that.

As for Tyson Fury, it’ll be interesting to see how he approaches something like this given his superior experience levels.
