Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who previously signed with the PFL, will receive at least ten million dollars for his fight with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. This was reported by popular blogger and boxer Jake Paul.

Francis got 8 figures. Not $8 million. Get it right. To all the twitter geniuses: 8 figures = $10,000,000+ and Francis deserves every bit of it.
Recall, the boxing bout between Ngannou and Fury will headline an evening of boxing to be held on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury, 34, last entered the ring in December 2022, defeating Derek Chisora by technical knockout in the tenth round. He has 33 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no losses under his belt.
Ngannou, 36, last fought in January 2022 at UFC 270, defeating Ciryl Gane by unanimous decision. He has 17 wins and three losses under his belt in mixed martial arts.
