This man describes the mind of an immigrant from a 3rd world country very well. I know exactly what he means and it resonates… not all as experiences are different but growing up in Haiti I feel it!

[@TrueYarn]

Growing up in Africa, most of us started working at 13/14 to support our families.

[@JamaicanToast]

Now you're in a UK pub with your eyes glued to the screen watching your beloved Chelsea.

[@jerriesunny02]

You are really lucky😂...I started at 7. Smh

[@TrueYarn]

@@JamaicanToast 😂😂 Chelsea is killing me right now but am actually in the USA

[@TrueYarn]

@@jerriesunny02 Chale e no easy oo. However, I will never trade those experiences for nothing. I see so many Americans here with so much but are very depressed and miserable

[@murnyang8381]

Even younger bro when you don’t have parents

[@MarcTande]

😢Yep, as a Cameroonian I totally agree with what he says, so many dreams totally crushed from an early age it only takes Faith to make others see what you stand for and support you.

[@benjaminisrael2867]

Your a survivor bro praise God u made it to this point ❤

[@tacotom3492]

Absolutely. You can't tell me that Francis wasn't blessed but also had goals to a degree early on to be something even in the dungeon... I couldn't imagine . ✌️

[@salim_the_dream]

This guy should write a book. His story is amazing.

[@remote3652]

I would watch the movie

[@mikerobinson9627]

The story of how he got to the states is a story that needs to be told in a movie 👏🏼👊🏼👏🏼

[@user-ml5xs2iv4m]

💯

[@sandilehlakuva1317]

Struggling in life makes you a strong brave person 😢.

[@j.r.williams6951]

these guys look like they come from the same village. love it.

[@shangwemuhidin2009]

The connection between Uncle Shay and Francis is so natural. What an interview!

[@EddyAlce]

Amazing life story

[@blackbirdsr81]

Truly inspirational, Ngannou is not only a champion in the ring but a champion in life. Bigup champ you already inspired so many of us.

[@julioavalos2936]

Destroyed Fury !!! Yeah Francis!!!

[@BlackBaudelaire]

Francis is like the spitting image of his father

[@lionelyannickobiang1613]

Sure they gonna make a movie about his journey.That man is unbreakable...in that travel to Europe,he already fought his biggest opponent in life😮

[@aaronconners5570]

This is a must watch!

[@ruebdogg1]

Shannon has a gift for interviewing!!

[@allanwatts8361]

this is a clear case of God working his magic...For Francis to go through such immense struggle from so young, then travel across the world, and come to this level of accomplishment is prolific. Rags to Riches: The Story of Francis Ngannou.

[@largegod77]

So God only worked magic on him ? Y’all gotta stop with the God bs

[@TheThugNasty]

@@largegod77says the dude named large”god”? 😂

[@raston_]

Where there's a desire, plan, will power & determination to reach a goal...the universe will always make a way for u be it good or evil... There's no "god" magic anywhere... U gotta work hard & smart for all u want to achieve

[@allanwatts8361]

what you don't understand is that God works from within...we were made in Gods image....the soul can either be influenced by the holy spirit (God) or satan...if you're aligned with God's frequency within + focused on projected future, you'll eventually get to where you see yourself. You're thoughts are not always your thoughts...God can project thoughts within you...and seize control....just think, from inception, God breathed life into us....if you understand the concept painted in ancient texts, you'll see where I'm coming from. First thing is first though, you need to understand that we are spiritual beings living a flesh based existence.@@raston_

[@allanwatts8361]

he's satan in disguise...he comes to create chaos and confusion@@TheThugNasty

[@goniniviews]

Leaving Undisputed turned out to be the best thing ever for Unc. Turns out it had become a ceiling. GREAT INTERVIEW with a legit GOAT in Ngannou

[@Joseperez-rt6vs]

So many life lessons in this interview. Thank you. @35:35 You just have to get started even if you don't know all the next steps and things will start falling into place AS YOU GO.

[@131rissa]

On my goodness, I can relate to him so much. I am so happy for him, that even through all his struggles, he triumph!!!❤

[@user-ml5xs2iv4m]

Im so proud of you bro😭😭😭😭

[@shifty4640]

Unc done it again.. Bless you Francis for your candid honesty, your God blessed and I see the number 7 repeatedly in your journey. Respect and manners to you and Unc shay.

[@nomad_citizen]

Amazing interview Uncle Shannon. Very inspiring. Great job!!

[@bbswag5420]

Great guest , amazing interview Unc

[@luyandadlungele1613]

Great interview

[@brandon2734]

Ngannouuu

[@ATheMansa]

I've said it before but they really need to make a movie about Francis' life when he's done with everything.

[@user-ek1gx3we3f]

My nickname for Francis is: BIG CAT... OG for sure. The Original OG. Francis is a huge INSPIRATION for these young kids out here that are lost in this world. A big movie for sure. I Love It. Very Inspiring. 😊😊😊

[@RacingHeartMedia]

Took advantage of what some Americans take for granted

[@koryburdet1317]

His life wasn't more different than Shannon story. Growing up in the south was the same as Africa, just without the racism.

[@RacingHeartMedia]

@@koryburdet1317 I would think ppl have it just a tad bit worse in Africa than people living here in America without the racism. People in America do not flee to the continent of Africa in search of betterment of life. if African people didn’t believe that grass is greener here in USA they’d stay and make a life for themselves there in Africa. imo racism is the last thing on their minds they have to do what Americans citizens do to survive. No different if an American (with some money) went to Africa to make a new living they’d have to adapt, learn a whole new culture, language etc but the chances of Americans doing that are slim to none

[@tomfoolery5844]

⁠@@koryburdet1317 you’re right that there isn’t a lot of overt interpersonal racism in Africa(at least where Francis is from). However, the racist systems are much the same and arguably worse in Africa than American ghettos.

[@Travvv94]

​@koryburdet1317 did you even watch the interview? Shannon wasn't working in a sand mine at 9 years old while going to school with no food.

[@koryburdet1317]

@@Travvv94Shannon was working at 9 on a farm. Shannon is self made. The Africans had to run to the white people country's for help. Shannon couldn't run anywhere. Had to start poor and build himself up. Francis can never say that. He needed the white man to feel sorry for him first then he got help

[@tamikax9738]

He won the fight with Fury hands down.

[@nonek2636]

Love it

[@adaorahi]

This was very interesting to watch. One of the best interviews that I have watched of any celebrity. He is hilarious, intelligent and extremely entertaining❤❤❤

[@federalgodson]

If you grew up in Africa, you can clearly understand the struggle of Francis. His early life is many of Africans daily to this day.

[@patricknez7258]

[@goergetobias7206]

Ngannou if you may mind I ask this Question. How did you get you paperwork sorted in France? You mention you went to gym in Paris then Orlando And by the way your story is a very good example your not born a bad person situation try to put you to be one you prove positive mindset and good heart wins. People you remember spider man from Mali who save a child in Paris suburb ..... wonderful stories decolonise Africa free Africa

[@adewaleoladayo9359]

Coming to America part 4

[@christophapaul6547]

He got robbed against fury. You won that fight champ.

It's a normal Africans ambitious youths life

[@Jojoe_b]

💪👍🙏

[@geeniality4215]

He looks like Fred Taylor with the hat and his body structure.

[@roynique5218]

Helping family in africa is not child labour. That term is western term. It more about working in unity.

[@sonofgod3739]

For people that say Francis is not a boxer , i will say yes because he's not looking to box you he's looking to kill you that's one thing i love about Francis

[@user-ml5xs2iv4m]

Me too bro I attracted haters for refusing the common life .I told people I was going to travel .take plane they didn't believe even my own family was like who are you ? Nobody knows you 😂😂😂😂😂even some Africans living in America tried to stop me with the same mind set .Thank you bro you nailed my haters we pay to go to school 😂😂😂😂😂tell them nothing is free on Africa - Cameroon 😂😂😂😂😂they feel that I'm mocking them when I say I don't know free 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnathanwhite7498]

We have to work at a early age also in the USA opportunity is there but if your poor you have to work.

[@user-nc2ws5ed9b]

Idk why this doesn’t have millions of views such an amazing story! Dana white bout to get you shadow banned! Keep it up tho Unc the people is behind you!

[@user-ph2cl7fi8l]

Thats a nice hat Francis is wearing, anyone know where to get one?

[@goergetobias7206]

You had what Ngannou said his plan was to go to German reason klitscho brothers were based there and is where Heavy weight boxing belt were .. Germany at that time was boxing heavy weight home

[@JesusChrist-hb8or]

Laughter helps to ease the conversation but laughing ang repeteadly asking "i don't know Francis whats below the working class 😂", that wasn't really funny

[@user-ml5xs2iv4m]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-ek1gx3we3f]

Also i got to say. For a guy that his English is not so good. He has some wisdom. Hey Iron? This story has already been written. He needs you Mike. I hope this young man Achieves all his dreams. Hey Francis? I don't know what your situation is like with trainers or a mentor? Please have Mike take this journey of being the baddest man on the planet with you. Your gonna do it Francis. 😊😊😊😊

[@Freedom-Freedom782]

Having Wisdom has nothing to do with speaking a language. Dumbest comment🙄

[@kayf9933]

Bare in mind, English might be his second or third language. Africans are amazing in their ability to maneuver through multiple languages. Despite his limited English, his wisdom still translates very well.

[@ab.gv1]

41:13 - 41:42 😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-ml5xs2iv4m]

😂😂😂😂bro this is why they want to kill me cause i mastered say No 😂😂😂😂and cant help rveryone sorry and there are differrnt ways to help 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂😂tell them
