Francis changing the fight game showing people to chase your dreams is truly inspirational 🙏
Long live the King🦁🤴
Bruddah he’s about to lose🤣 he aint change shii😭
Aj will smoke him
@@vitalkane even if he loses he already won .. he's achieved more than you and had none of the privileges you enjoyed growing up. Hate on Francis is a sure sign people like you live miserable lives . Instead of drawing inspiration you garner hatred and bitterness . Sad really that we can tell so much about you in that one comment but one day maybe your weak mindset changes for the better ! Best of luck brother 🙏
lol AJ has neveer smoked anyone.. hes like a robot and was outboxed by usyk whos half his size @@calvinblack2167
WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU FRANCIS. WATCHING FROM MIAMI FLORIDA
Vamos Francis💪👊
You have done so much in your journey Children from Africa around the world are so proud watching you climb all these mountains So glad to be a cameroonian Wish you the best my brother 🇨🇲🇨🇲
Francis👋
Hey Ngannou big fan ❤
Ngannou ,you were my first MMA fight event l watched from live stream, Although it shocked me it happened that fast ,as l never seen you even get wobbled ...never please stop boxing before redeeming your unfortunate loss....you already made many africans like me hopeful and proud of what you have already accomplished 👏👏👏👏👏
He's never beating AJ in this lifetime in boxing.
حظا سعيدا ايها البطل وان شاء الله الفوز حليفا
Francis bro we love you forever go there bro and show how great you're we love and believe in you my brother show them control the pace be sharp and kill may the African gods be with you bro 🇿🇦🇨🇲
I wish you best ngano watching from malawi❤
Keep your head up champ ❤ you will be back better
Truth. Anybody can get caught in an fight especially when you are as skilled, big, and bad as AJ and Francis are.
Respect to AJ for being nice and not acting like a loudmouth prick post fight. AJ showed a lot of class on the microphone and I respect that as well as him being the 200 million dollar man and living and training in the sage house he grew up in like some super driven hungry Olympic or college athlete, that’s a crazy amount of discipline to do that with all the wealth he’s got. He’s also not a shit talker like Fury so AJ all the way over Fury is where I’m at. Francis is my favorite athlete in all of pro sports so I will always be for Francis regardless. Francis should challenge AJ and Fury to a mma fight. Their boxing won’t mean much in the PFL smart cage-It will be Randy Couture vs James Toney 2.0 aka takedown ground and pound and choke to a tap out.
That is not getting caught that is a demolition by a technically superior boxer.@@cgiles9086
That was a tough knock out, but dont let it dishearten you. You're the first boxer (aside from i guess anderson silva) to have performed so well after transitioning from mma to boxing. Well done brother 👏
I support both my African brothers!
A mon humble avis, le plus grand combat, est la réaction d'un champion après la défaite: en écoutant la conférence de presse d'après combat, j'ai des larmes aux yeux en accueillant le sourire de Francis, et je peux aller continuer de pousser plus loin mes propres objectifs. Merci beaucoup Francis. Félicitation et merci à Joshua qui m'a aussi beaucoup marqué durant l'avant-pendant et l'après combat (les couleurs du 237 sur sa tête)... PROFOND RESPECT A TOUS LES DEUX et THANKS A LOT FOR THIS MANAGEMENT SPIRIT FIGHT OVER RING BOXE. J'ai appris que le meilleur moment pour croire en nos choix, c'est le moment où ils se présentent sur un visage qu'on attendait pas du tout, et parfois qui remette en question toutes nos convictions: cher force fraternelle Francis, moi Agathe cet être parmi des milliers de camerounais, je te souhaite de renaitre de cette cendre et surtout, que le cadeau caché derrière te soit révélé en t'élevant au plus haut de tes rêves. Encore MERCI.
Love u man ❤.. u are an inspiration for every hardworker🙏.. #Respect
You are such an inspirating Champion. We know you will come up stronger. You have our full support and know that you still remain our Champion.
Whoever run Francis' channel please show him my comment. The results are in for this fight. Francis win lose or draw you are my champion and of many others. It wasn't your fights or wins that drew me to you but your ambition, perseverance, loyalty to oneself and sheer determination to walk your path despite all others saying otherwise that inspires me. Keep on going brother. Your life journey inspired me to become a better man. Thank you. Forever Champion Of The World.
Win or lose, doesn't matter. You are true inspiration for the people and people need all inspiration they can get in these hard times. ❤
Bro. you're my bloody HERO. this last fight u had is basically another WIN. the way u act is bloody INSPIRATIONALL i may even have to sub you. u are awesome bro. Thanks for showing us all your hart. how to be a real super man

Francis a livré un beau combat sauf qu'en face on avait un AJ encore plus déterminé et expérimenté... Faut pas oublier le combat contre Fury ou Francis a gagné dans nos cœurs. Force à toi Francis , on a hâte de la suite.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦Френсіс у Вас велике майбутьне, на данний час Ви як Ентоні 5 років тому... У Вас нема 5 років, збирайтесь з думками швидше добряк - здоров'як🤗
Greatness❤❤
This defeat doesn't matter: you are a great fighter, when you trip and fall, you just get back up and keep moving forward. Thank you for being the great guy you are, you inspire so many people in the world, this little step back will not affect you.

Fun Fact. My Fiancee has the same birthday as Francis Ngannou and I have the same birth year as Francis Ngannou. We hope to meet you someday. ❤️🇳🇬
We don't always win but we always keep pushing and learning. Life is all about about learning from mistakes. Keep putting in the excellent work brother!
Head up champ
Grand Frère🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲. Les batailles perduent font parti de ton chemin. Et cela a toujours été le cas. Tu es champion. Pour toujours tu restes une figure emblématique💪
Come on Francis 🥊
Let's go champ!
Lets go francis 💪💪💪💪
Inspires us to remember that living our dreams is possible Absolute boss you are Francis
Respect
AND NEW!!! 🏆
Keep your head up, Champ! When you win, people will love you, and people will hate you for it. Just the same, when you lose, there'll always be cowards kicking you while you're down and good souls lifting you up. I gained even more respect for AJ and you following this fight. He was the one who knocked you down, but you both lifted each other up like true kings.
The Predator change the Game et History Boxe 🥊
You are still the best there is no doubt
Your the king Francis wipe the floor with them all,💪👑🔥💥🥊

Go Francis 💪
Ferocious fast fire 🔥 fist of Francis Ngannou
Ngannou, pessoa muito humilde e lutador extremamente talentoso!
FRANCIS 👁SHOULD'VE BEEN TOLD YOU THIS, YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN WEARING A HAT & SHIRT THAT READS 1-0, AFTER U WIN GET A HAT AND SHIRT THAT SAYS 2-0, LET THEM KNOW YOU HAVEN'T LOSS YET IN BOXING
Francis Ngannou 👍🇰🇬👍
I am so happy for Francis' success
How Dana White and his subjects enjoy themselves. Francis you are an inspiration, few can achieve what you have achieved and you will achieve many more. You fought two of the best boxers, there's no shame in losing. All the best, I hope you continue to do boxing or mma. All the best.
courage le grand, tu restes notre champion
Francis brother. I hope you will take enough time off for your brain to heal before you come back and compete. Rushing back in too soon has not worked out well for all fighters that tried. God bless you.
Agreed he needs one year atleast that was a horrible, horrible knockout
FRANCIS THE LIVING LEGEND 💗
Francis should do an informal interview. I wonder how he feels about all the lights and stimulation that come with the persona as an introvert.
It’s a BOXING fight, take nothing away from the king 👑🖤 forever
Let me check the time of the fight and get myself ready!
5pm eastern time
Love this man ❤️❤️ from northeast India 👍🙏❤️
La détermination s’appelle Francis,respect champion
good luck
Make more video after the fight soon. What happen what did you learn. Danger of leading with the hook before countering with the hook
Quel exemple pour tout un continent!
Even if you get knocked out, in my heart you're still a champion, keep going, just like last time you lost to Stipe Miocic, get back on your feet and come on champion!💪💪💪
Go win Black maestro. God bless from Poland ❤
I've liked Francis since he entered the UFC with cornrows. I honestly don't think I've ever been as inspired and impressed by an professional athletes journey to success as Francis'. So proud of this man and I wish him nothing but success. Baddest Man On The Planet and an admirable human being.
Salut à toi, La stratégie de Joshua est passé, 3 coups de massue. Ta stratégie était identique, l'expérience a fait la différence. Et toi tu étais mode boxe total. Lui était en mode MMA 3 round. Tu te relèves toujours plus fort. Tu es un exemple pour tous, aucun homme est infaillible, il faut en tirer une leçon. Joshua total respect. Ryad Bravo bravo bravo à toi.
Damn, Francis. I hope you continue to box. We are still rooting for you. I really wanted you to win the AJ fight. I was sad about the outcome that you lost. Also before the AJ fight I was sad when I saw that your modesty had changed and you were bragging too much. I was worried you would loose the fight when your attitude changed and the humble attitude went away. It seems like with that you lost you sense of danger and thought you would destroy AJ. I'm not a fan of AJ per se. I actually wanted to see you continue your win streak. I hope you will remember to stay humble so you can stay aware of the danger like you were in the Fury fight. In the AJ fight when I saw your attitude change to be more prideful, I was very worried and I see it was correct.
Shock the world
May the almighty and may our angelic ancestors be with you my Bamileke brother. I wIsh you all the best tonight. Come out victorious.
Francis please take some break to give your brain to recover! Please don’t feel too bad you fought the best boxer with boxing rule.
Ngannou all day❤😊
Francis brother
Francis je crois en toi mon Frère quand je les regardes tous ces combattants respect mais ils ne t’arrivent pas à la cheville Go FULL SAVAGE!!💪🏽 don’t let place for doubt. Don t let them steal again from you give them CHAOS!! 🎉🎉 show them who you are a true and REAL WARRIOR!! Love from Canada ❤
Im here to just say after witnessing your straight onslaught of the ufc heavyweight division. And the boxing performance you put on against fury and the challenge you took on facing joshua. Youre the baddest motherfucker in the world dude. You singlehandedly made the heavyweight division of boxing interesting again in 2 fights. You dont have to keep fighting but just know youre an inspiration forreal
No problem Brother😘🧿💚🤍❤️💪👌👊👑👑👑 Fight next
You are going to win against Joshua best of Luck you deserve it.🎉
I hope Francis doesn't lose focus & i hope he prevail victorious
The lineal champ from Cameroon Francis Ngannou! You proved all the haters and naysayers wrong. All those people taking dana and other promoters words for truth and jumping to conclusions without the slightest clue of what offers you had.
You often wasting time to hard training you belly to take hit, but you forgot you cannot train chin to take hit. So use your hand as a shield. Dont too cocky by your chin.
А то он этого не знает 😂 тут все решили рефлексы и их колдовство
Stay boxing champ, there is no shame in losing to a 2X champion.
Lave ton honneur
Ghana is routing for Francis let's go Africa stand up ...
Francis, поднялся обтрехнулся, сделал выводы и пошол дальше.
Francis got this. Hope his defensive abilities have improved more and he uses the clinches as good as he did against Fury. A ko would be awesome. Just want the uppercut to connect well.
Brother you have to move the head in this sport and defending
I'm Nigerian and I think even most Nigerians are rooting for this man 😂. Let's go Francis 🇳🇬🇨🇲
😂😂😂 traitor
😂😂😂😂 traitor
Ypu ate blessed and you will be victorious by Gods grace 🙏

Let's go Francis Ngannou! best of luck against AJ 👏👏👏🇨🇲👑
