Francis Ngannou is confirmed to compete in mixed martial arts under the Professional Fighters League’s banner, affirmed by the promotion’s founder and chairman, Donn Davis. This commitment remains steadfast despite Ngannou’s concurrent venture into professional boxing.
Having joined PFL in May, Ngannou, left UFC and vacated the heavyweight title, retains the flexibility to engage in boxing as well. Although he has not yet competed in PFL, Ngannou made his boxing debut in October, narrowly losing to Tyson Fury on points, despite knocking down the reigning WBC champion.
On March 8, Ngannou is set to return to Riyadh, the Saudi city where he faced Fury, for a boxing match against Anthony Joshua.
