My Story From Africa to Paris | Francis Ngannou

I wanted to give you a closer look into my story on how I came to be the World Heavyweight Champion and my life from Africa to Paris. From my relationship with my mother and the gym to the choices that I made in Cameroon that went against the stereotypes for men my age. I realized that the journey was difficult in Cameroon, Africa and I knew I had to leave to fully enhance my abilities. This story is for everyone who put doubt on my path and how I knew deep down that this was my future.

not only has his fight game levelled up, but this man speaks solid english now too

Your comment deserves better

[@piesese5470]

Most of Africa can speak English

[@jaovao]

@@piesese5470 you have to check his interviews in English years back, he couldn’t speak good at all. He was improving a lot. An amazing human being. ✌🏾 ❤️ 😊 🌴

If Francis can do it. We all can do better in our life. Keep working.

[@Raider78988]

It depends, Francis was a physical specimen he had the potential from the beginning, I am not saying y’all should not try just saying you guys should be willing to fail in order to do anything you guys want at the end anything could happen

[@drizzykicks2970]

@@Raider78988 Everybody's a physical specimen they just don't know it yet. prove it? Thing most people are too Lazy to disprove it, they wont reach 100% of their physic potential, which means, my point stands.

[@Raider78988]

@@drizzykicks2970 your high if you think everyone is a physical specimen, not everyone has the same bone structure and muscle structure, I’ve meet people who after a few months of training at the gym they can already bench 100kg other can take years

[@drizzykicks2970]

Nah, that was a Trick statement. You Won't Know till you Try and Most people Never try. And will Never know. And Even the weakest people around are way stronger than they think, the potential is high. That was my point. You have to work hard to find out you are talented, or in this case, physically advantaged. And Even if someone does and they "fail" they've won. I guarantee you he didn't know he was a physical specimen. He did find out tho.

[@senben9737]

Instead of looking at the weak midget and wondering how they manage to reach high level you looking at a giant and comparing your bum with his

This should 100% be made into a movie

[@thetruthiswithin9172]

I swear with the right studio, budget, script, actor...Francis story can be an Oscar winning movie for real

[@claudineyounathan3390]

Your story is truly inspirational! I watched the fight tonight with Tyson Fury. He has always been my favorite boxer but I have always been one to tell the truth. So I want to let you know that I think you won this fight tonight and most people feel that way. Keep up the great work you do. You just gained a new fan!

I respect Ngannou above all other fighters, not because of his underdog story or his elite fighting abilities, but because of his iron will, relentless mindset, and his wise humble philosophical nature.

[@msizinkosi3481]

The soft-spoken beast, you will never hear Francis scream & shout but he can knockout just about anybody

Hey Francis, a KZbinr called "Patrick Gaiva" made a documentary of your journey "The violent true story of Francis Ngannou UFC: Fighter Documentary" it's really well done, if anyone hasn't seen it you should it's honestly riveting and brings the story to life in a real, impactful way. It's 28:00 minutes long but it goes by in like 5 seconds 10/10 higly recommend

UFC should do a new show where Francis travells across Africa going to villages looking for people that want to fight then bring a load back set up training camps with other fighters and follow structure of the original show ... imagine what could be out there , there legit could be dude's running around Africa in tribes that would destroy even more than he does

[@Anthonydu01630]

Yes, in 2011 he was poor, still in Africa, he probably just had 3 normal meal per days and didn’t even trained+ his outfit and body positions make him look slimmer, but you can already see that he is muscular, the other picks just before is from around the same time and you can see he was ripped, not like now but im sure if he was shirt less he would look like Roy Jones JR. Now he has the money to train, to even have a chef, so great diet+training everydays, its a whole different lifestyle, so yes, its the same man, he just has elite genetic and can have A LOT of muscle with a pro athlete lifestyle, some people are like that, its a talent, just like people who have 160 IQ, just like people who are extremely good in math or science, just like people who are elite at anything, we are born different, that’s a fact and some were born with more than other 🤷🏾‍♂️
