Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou made a statement on his social media, directed towards influencer and boxer Jake Paul, who defeated Mike Tyson on November 16.
Francis Ngannou
Next time I see this Jake Paul guy, I'm gonna give him two or three slaps.
For context, Tyson assisted Ngannou in his training for the bout against Tyson Fury.
Earlier, Paul stepped into the ring against former UFC fighter Mike Perry in July of this year. That fight, which was stopped in the sixth round, ended with a technical knockout in favor of Jake. He holds a boxing record of 10 wins (seven by knockout) and one loss.
