Ngannou To Return To MMA As Doubts Cloud Tyson Fury Rematch

02/09/2024 11

Cameroon-born fighter, Francis Ngannou, is set to make a comeback to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) this year, casting uncertainty on the anticipated rematch with Tyson Fury.
This development follows confirmation from Professional Fighters League CEO, Peter Murray, emphasising the impact on the potential boxing rematch with Fury.
Ngannou, who has been absent from MMA since his UFC heavyweight title defence against Ciryl Gane in January 2022, faced a hiatus due to a knee injury.
Subsequently, he was stripped of his title upon exiting the UFC. Despite signing with the Professional Fighters League in May last year.
Ngannou has not yet debuted in the promotion, opting instead to make a notable boxing appearance against Fury last October.
The bout saw Ngannou floor Fury in the third round, nearly securing a victory in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and despite a split decision in favour of Fury, the outcome was met with controversy, with many believing Fury was fortunate to maintain his unbeaten record.
