Markelle Martin, manager of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, spoke about the financial terms of a boxing bout against WBC champion Tyson Fury.

The bag is so big, he may actually just drop it on the way to the bank. I don’t know what the haters are trying to say right now, I kind of just blocked it out, but they’ll just be proven wrong again. Is it safe to say he'll make more money for this fight than he has for all his fights in the UFC? Oh my God. I mean, by far. By multiples.
Ngannou last fought against Ciryl Gane in January 2022 at UFC 270. In that confrontation, Francis won by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 17 wins and three losses under his belt.
Fury last entered the ring against Derek Chisora in December 2022. This fight ended in favor of Tyson by technical knockout in the tenth round. He has 33 wins (24 by knockout), one draw and no defeats.
