BKFC promoter, David Feldman revealed that Francis’ Ngannou’s demands were too steep for the parties to come to an agreement.
Earlier this year it was revealed that Ngannou and the UFC had parted ways after a long and ugly dispute. The heavyweight felt that he was being underpaid, but even after months of negotiation, the promotion and Ngannou could not agree on a figure, so the then reigning champion would walk.
It’s been several months and while rumours have flown, nothing concrete has emerged regarding Ngannou’s next move. The Cameroonian has said to have held talks with the likes of PFL, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom boxing and Bellator.
