Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou wants $30 million for his professional boxing debut fight.
It became known from the correspondence between Hardcore FC president Anatoliy Sulyanov and famous fighter's manager Ali Abdelaziz, published by Anatoliy on his social networks.
"He's my friend, but I don't run his business. He wants thirty million dollars," Abdelaziz wrote.
Ngannou, 36, last entered the Octagon in January 2022 at UFC 270, defeating Ciryl Gane by unanimous decision of the judges. Ngannou has 17 wins and three losses under his belt.
