Francis Ngannou challenged to ‘Biggest fight in African history’ by ONE champion Reug Reug

Off the back of his stunning victory in a PFL debut fight last month, Francis Ngannou has been challenged to the perceived “biggest fight in African history” by ONE Championship megastar, Reug Reug — with the Senegal native fresh from a contentious title win over Antaloy Malykhin.

Ngannou, a former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, made his long-anticipated SmartCage debut last month, featuring against PFL heavyweight knockout artist, Renan Ferreira.

And returning to combat sports with aplomb, Batie native, Ngannou turned in a stunning first round knockout win over Ferreira, taking down the former unleashing a slew of ground strikes.
