Dreams not dollars inspire Ngannou
FRANCIS NGANNOU claims his bid to make it in boxing is not down to money despite the eye-watering sums the MMA fighter is making in the sport.
Cameroon man mountain Ngannou, 37, has promised to put British heavyweight star Anthony Joshua to "sleep" when they meet on March 8 in Saudi Arabia.
It would certainly be an upset to make the division stand up and take notice again after he almost shocked WBC champion Tyson Fury on his debut last October.
Ngannou has claimed that this dip into boxing is his lifelong dream and not a way to make bigger bucks than in the UFC where he was heavyweight champion.
