The Road to PFL for Ngannou
Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, returns to the cage after a two-fight venture into boxing. The 37-year-old powerhouse faces another formidable fighter in Brazil’s Renan Ferreira at the Mayadeen, with the prestigious PFL heavyweight Superfight Championship belt on the line. This event is aptly dubbed the Battle of the Giants.Having signed with PFL in May 2023, Ngannou is set to make his much-awaited debut. His transition to the PFL is a significant boost for the league, established in 2018 by Donn Davis, and for the newly minted Super Fights division. Ngannou last showcased his skills in the cage at UFC 270 in January 2022, where he successfully defended his title against Ciryl Gane. However, after a contentious contract dispute, he left the UFC, leading to Dana White stripping him of his title in January 2023.
Despite this, Ngannou’s profile has only risen following high-profile boxing bouts against Tyson Fury in October 2023 and Anthony Joshua in May 2024. While he faced a knockout loss to Joshua, he impressively took Fury to the limit, showcasing his elite skill and determination.
