Francis Ngannou is considering offers from Saudi royal adviser Turki Alalshikh and the possibility of an MMA fight with Deontay Wilder, while he is less convinced about a boxing rematch with Tyson Fury after his split decision loss, believing Fury is focused on a planned title unifier with Oleksandr Usyk and is not in a position to fight in December.
Francis Ngannou is considering his next move after his thrilling fight with heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury. One possibility is an offer from Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi royal adviser who facilitated the fight between Ngannou and Fury. Alalshikh revealed a yet-undisclosed bid to retain Ngannou after his split-decision loss to Fury. Another possibility is an MMA fight with former heavyweight boxing champ Deontay Wilder, who is currently training in MMA. Ngannou believes it would be a different challenge for Wilder and feels confident in his own MMA skills.
However, Ngannou is not convinced about a boxing rematch with Fury. He believes the shocking result of their first fight has made Fury focus on a planned title unifier with Oleksandr Usyk. Ngannou thinks that Fury may have underestimated him initially and signed the Usyk fight, leaving their rematch in doubt. Ngannou himself looks ready to take on his next challenge, appearing virtually unmarked alongside Fury, who sported a black eye. He believes Fury is unlikely to fight in December.
Despite not winning the fight, Ngannou considers it a moral victory and is motivated to show the world that he can perform even better. He plans to be more aggressive and not hold back in future fights, overcoming his lack of experience. Ngannou has gained some valuable lessons from his fight with Fury and is eager to prove himself again.
Ngannou is weighing his options for the future, considering various offers and potential opponents. He is determined to continue improving and proving his skills in both boxing and MMA.
