there was such a name Francis NgannouFormer UFC Heavyweight Champion who now competes in the Professional Fighters League – another mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion in which Paul has a stake. Ngannou, 39, has boxed professionally twice, losing a controversial decision to Tyson Fury in 2023 and suffering a brutal knockout by Anthony Joshua in 2024.
Ngannou indicated that talks had taken place, but the fight with Paul would not take place, stating tmz: “No, that’s not happening. How can they go from Gervonta Davis to Francis Ngannou? I mean, Gervonta Davis is a great boxer, he’s a one-shot knockout artist but come on…
“The difference in weight and everything, it doesn’t mean anything. Gervonta Davis, you count and say: ‘Okay, difference in size, he can raise the level.’ But at this point, to me, it doesn’t make any sense. Davis holds a world title at lightweight, which is several divisions below Paul’s preferred division of cruiserweight – although Paul has fought at heavyweight before.
“I’m like, ‘No, brother, come on, don’t disrespect me like that,'” Ngannou continued. “They also come out later and say: ‘What if the numbers are good?’ He [unknown] Someone sends the number, and I say: ‘It’s not about the number. If it was a matter of numbers, we could have started. I’m not interested in it, it means nothing to me. This is not what I am seeing right now.”
Paul responded with these words by tweeting on Tuesday: “Dear Francis – Let’s just say you’ve already been humiliated in boxing and are scared of losing to Jake Paul. I accept that. You’re making light my friend. Stuck in the mud.”
Another controversial opponent was former interim world champion Ryan GarciaBut 27-year-old promoter Oscar De La Hoya rejected the idea.
“Let me tell you why this fight is not going to happen,” de la hoya saidBefore referencing the broadcast status. “Ryan Garcia fights for DAZN and Jake Paul fights on Netflix. I mean, it’s pretty much the same thing as below. Golden Boy [Promotions] There’s a contract with DAZN, Ryan Garcia has a contract with Golden Boy, and it’s like that. This is business.
“Ryan Garcia is probably going to brag saying, ‘Oh, you’re keeping me from making money,’ and this and that. No, you have to play by the law, by the rules. You have a contract with DAZN, you have a contract with Golden Boy. It doesn’t have to be that way.
“Ryan Garcia’s next fight will be announced by me, who he is fighting and when he will fight next.”
Meanwhile, Paul’s next opponent is the betting favorite nate diazThe UFC icon who was knocked down and defeated by Paul in a boxing match in 2023.
Following that contest, there was talk of a rematch between the 40-year-old Paul and Diaz in MMA – possibly under the PFL banner.
