Who’s watching this after Ngannou embarrassed Fury? Go on lad, did yourself extremely proud! 😊
Hahaha literally doing the same thing
I am here
😊
I just got this notification today. Thought it was new till I read comments and looked at date. Also I don't think he embarrassed fury. Fury is undefeated but Francis is also a genetic monster who's intelligent and best with striking. I say it's not to down fury or boxing but to up francis and welcome him into boxing. Francis could be heavyweight champion I think. I don't see many of the other heavyweights giving him trouble either.
“Love is a feeling, respect is a duty” what a quote
Beautiful 11:00
It is 💯 %
That's like a Brue Lee level quote. This man should write a book.
mad poetic for a non-native English speaker as well
I would pay for the app he used to filter the photo of him and his father❤️❤️
The fact that Geordie went out of his way to get a better photo of potentially one of Francis’s only pictures with his dad speaks volumes of his character.Very wholesome content xx
Tbh he told this story a lot better on joe Rogans podcast
This
@@zaidinho6338 Ngannou has shared his story so many times that he shortens it every time. But yeah, I agree.
Well though through present! That was a top-notch move on Gordie's part.
Georgie has a beautiful heart
Oh man. I’m Cameroonian and I’m speechless. The guy represents us so well on so many levels. God bless Francis.
Thanks Cameroon,for providing such a fine individual, amongst many others.Roger Milla, Samuel Eto, the Biyik brothers...
@@educ8teyou understand Cameroon through this icons you respect. 🎉❤
Toughest men are from sub-saharan africa, africa is the future.
Francis is one of my favourite humans.very respectful, very gracious. But very tough, and strong. I'm English, and loved watching him teach Tyson fury a lesson. He truly needed that .
Please god give Francis that Tyson fury money. He’s a pure soul and that genuine smile comes from simply not thinking about where his next meals coming from. What a great guy
so are alot of people dont u think if god controlled money everyone good would have it
@@hiddenwarrior24 it's just an expression mate
@@hiddenwarrior24 if we're going by ur logic that means God loves and has chosen Francis giving him the hardest punch on the planet and having him be the heavyweight champion
@@hiddenwarrior24 if he wants to believe in god, let him. Free country bro
@@mobeeg5868 exactly 🤦♂️
He was alone,frustrated and penniless but he was determined to succeed.And now his arena is the whole world.Nothing but huge respect Francis.
"And now his arena is the whole world." There's something...oddly powerful about that.
I would pay for the app he used to filter the photo of him and his father❤️❤️
praise for allah
@@omaremad2875 just like that, out of thin air lol
Francis's story is so inspirational. Let him be an example that you can accomplish anything. Don't ever give up.
Have to remember tho for every nganou there's thousands if not millions of people who had similar lives and didn't make it.
@@WALKING-DISTANCE not the point
I respect Francis a lot, you can read my other comments saying he is an inspiration. But not everyone can achieve anything. that is just wishful thinking. he has a god given gift that he honed and improved. but many of his peers who left Cameroon with him are still poor, because they are not 6'5'' 270lb talented fighters. so no, not everyone can achieve anything. and I think Francis himself would agree with that.
@@MrPancake777 "you can accomplish anything" is just wrong. "you can, and should, accomplish something in life" is better.
@@bluceree7312 u can, if u work hard enough and don’t give up. Francis has natural amazing ass KO power but he worked hard for his skills. Look at Derrick Lewis. He’s all KO power and nothing else. Some of the people who left Cameroon are still poor cause they aren’t working hard enough to achieve things. It’s simple
we need a film or a Netflix documentary about his story, the world needs to hear this!
Defenitly !!!!!!!!!!!
100%!
You should listen to his podcast with Joe Rogan. He goes more in depth with his story.
@@dundada3753 yes this was the first time i heard about his story👌
He and his voice both can make people sleep
I didn't expect Francis to be this nice and down to earth after seeing what he does in the octagon it's well deserved success 👏
I would pay for the app he used to filter the photo of him and his father❤️❤️
Francis is 1A
@@HASU26 App is Remini
Every athlete bangs the drum they come from nothing etc but this man literally did come from real poverty
What exactly isn’t ’real poverty’? You’re treading on dangerous ground by suggesting there’s a level of poverty that isn’t worthy of notice.
Couldn't even afford a pen/pencil for class. That's something else
What a man. Deep thinking, articulated killer. Incredible story.
And Dana has the audacity to call him greedy. Nuts
I'm 18 and since I was born, I always felt like a nobody, had a lot of fake friends and I was a troublemaker. I've been trying to to show people that I changed but this month, I decided to give up and focus on myself. I'm planning on starting boxing and muay thai this year.
Go for it. will be one of the best feelings you get
@@jcrisamaefula1980 i started doing muay thai and Airsoft and I'm having a great time
Ngannou has like this child like presence to him, especially him asking what the app was at the end. Definitely a gentle giant.
That moment of silence from Francis when Geordie gives him the phone of his dad n him is something special. 👏🏾
I expected that the app is the sponsor of the video and thats the reason the guy did it so i was pleasently suprised that its not
When you see a man with such a gentle voice it’s usually because they lived through something pretty hard/traumatic
His voice is so soft and delicate, Ngannou seems to radiate wisdom and is very insightful. Very inspiring individual.
I think he wouldn't be the same without the voice it's kinda like Anderson silva, the voice lulls you into a false sense of security.
Love is feeling , respect is duty - Francis Ngannou
This man needs to make millions and millions cos you know he giving all back to the ppl that need it most TOTAL RESPECT ✊ FOR THIS MAN
he seems like a guy you can just hang out with and chat he has the true warrior spirit always seeking peace but ready for war
His story is a movie man I thought I am strong man who can’t tear down because of a story but this beast carries alot of emotions and memories which makes even the toughest man cry Not only that he also wise and a good example for inspiration
Francis be Low key dropping Gems on this interview... He is already a Legend in the Making. It is only right a movie is made about him He is a modern day hero that inspires hope to a lot of people.
I’m amazed at how beautiful and humble he is about life. I can’t relate, my life wasn’t anywhere near as hard but I could imagine it would make you feel angry. Having things so hard. He is obviously a very tough man but comes across very humble. No bravado. To me feels a good role model to children everywhere.
Francis has improved so much both on his personality and his fighting style. He had the will to learn to grapple and speak English and accomplished both those things.
He's from a bilingual country, they speak both French and English in Cameroon
@@ducdebrabant4997 correct! But he’s from A remote village in Cameroon he didn’t know a word of English until he left Cameroon
@@ducdebrabant4997 Both languages are spoken in Cameroon, but not everyone speaks both languages. The vast majority don't
@@ducdebrabant4997 Cameroon is a Francophone country. Sure, English is an official language but its rare for someone from a remote village without a formal education to know it.
Champion mentality
What a legend, as a massive UFC fan it saddened me that they hadn't negotiated him better...hope he fights Fury and makes bank.
It's a fact him and fury will go at it (fury wants to give him that pay).
@@darien4969haha. Fury give him a pay day. And pretty much destroyed his image. Francis can box apparently 😂
He looks exactly like his father and his pops looks in great shape good genetics mixed with hard work and determination
Dad was a legendary street fighter in the area. Francis’s sister he says regularly beats the local males in fights. Elite genetics for sure and elite mindset
Restoring his fathers picture for him was pure class geordie. Big respect for that fella
From humble beginnings to taking on the UFC brass, this man is an inspiration.
this man is from the neighboring village of my grandparents and i am so proud of you my brother. You are our Hero. Greetings from Germany de ton frère de Banja🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲❤️
Francis is such a humble guy
Here after he kicked Tyson Fury’s ass
It's tough not to cry or be emotional through some of this. Such a candid, poignant look at his early life. Amazing work from TG and brave, open answers from Ngannou. So very happy for Francis. Great content
The man is pure humble. Had noting and now has the world at his feet .FairPlay to him he worked so hard.
Everybody salute now the BOXING LINEAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
Everything is facts. Millions of us from Africa face this situation. I remember, at the age of 11 years old. I used to sell karozin to pay for my own school fees..them days was my worst days. No friends no play time, no food to eat. It was tough..
How are you today? Are things better for you?
@@saxonbarks4236 not the best of life, I wish for better, but I'm Greatful for life now. As I continue to strive for a better one.
@@Discoverlondon101 keep going! You’ll get there one day👌🏼
Respect
Big respect keep up man
This man is an epitome of the saying 'Pressure makes Diamonds'.
Ngannou is so cool and lovely guy...I respect him a lot and whish him all the best
What a story. And what a personality. I wish him more success than he has already achieved.
13:26: "[my father] was there to show me maybe not the way to go but the way not to go". Deep.
He is such a beautiful soul. Francis ngannou came from nowhere...it is most definitely a true legendary story. A true champion. 🙂🙏
I am happy Francis is improving in English knowing he is french speaking.. big up champ
Ngannou's story is Hollywood worthy
It’s so unbelievable it’d make an amazing film
Indeed! He should also do a book in all formats including audio. The options for him are endless!
@@2030booyaka it could be called the life of the predator
@@JosephMcEwan 😂😂😂👆lol that sounds so bad
@@dominuswl you’re literally the only person who thinks it’s a bad idea from what I can see a lot of people like the idea
Frances has an interesting calm and wise energy. You can tell he's been through alot and that experience breeds his calmness.
What a journey for Francis Ngannou, from his difficult childhood in Cameroon working in sand mines to being homeless in France to becoming a global UFC superstar, absolutely inspirational 👏👏👏👏
I resonate with Francis Ngannou when he says he is not friendly but respectful coz I also enjoy being a loner but iam respectful and others think when iam that, they think they can be my friends but get disappointed when I resent the friendship coz they change opinion and think iam self centered and anti social. Private people like Ngannou and I are very difficult to understand coz when we respect people we are mistaken to be friendly but when we resent the friendship we are mistaken for antisocial and yet we just needs some privacy and love spending most of the time alone whilst respecting other peoples privacy and expecting to be accorded the some privacy in return.
Watched the original podcast but had to watch this again just for that ending. It was so wholesome
My fellow Cameroonian brother,so proud to have you represent us this well Francis
Jesus he's so articulate with the way he speaks, the guy is a legit wordsmith.
From this to Saturday night! What a legend!!
Such a great human. Something made him so wise. His struggles, his upbringing, or lack thereof, this genes. Whatever it is, he is such an inspiration.
What a man 🙌 big respect
Damn!!!! I love Francis is the most genuine person he deserves everything that’s happening for him!!
What a nice touch doing that photo for him mate. Top man ❤️
Love is a feeling, but respect is a duty. 🙌🏾
I just stumbled on this interview. Great work man! That quote though - "love is a feeling, but respect is a duty"...wow!!
what a great interveiw !!! great respect to both men !!!!
Hearing this guy is soothing to mind and it relaxes the mind and makes y appreciate life
The world is with you Francis you are not alone
Ngannou should write his memoirs, would be extreamely interesting. Could also be made into a movie, would possibly sell better than the fight against Fury.
Real wisdom earned beautiful person amazing story Francis is the truth
Love this guy. Also respect 2 true geordie for getting amazing guests.
Francis is so genuine and good. You have to love this guy. I wish nothing but good for him.
Only ever seen him fighting but what a nice humble big guy he is.
Best thing about Brian is he is truly as immersed in the culture as a normal fan rather than being on the pedestool that most guys put themselves on once they reach his level. If ur reading this you’re getting all the success you deserve mate👍🏻
When they make a movie about this man, people won't believe it.
He deserves all the money and happiness.
Watching this after the fight.Brilliant interview!!
When francis started looking at the photo in detail a tear left my eye
Nice work so that we could learn more about Francis. Great/relevant questions and you gave him plenty of time to respond...Much substance in your conversation.
For me this is where Brian really shines, an excellent interviewer because he is genuinely interested and it clearly comes through.
Your silly he’s a terrible interviewer he makes it awkward and asks soo many silly questions
@@DentistJoeyou can just watch other interviews yk? Not everything is suitable for every taste
Francis is the Gentleman of UFC. An absolute inspiration.
Love hearing stories like this penniless but never gave up what a credit to himself and Cameroon he is😊
Love is a feeling but respect is a duty!! That’s powerful!!!
Damn, 'love is a feeling, respect is a duty'... I got that one
Thanks for this interview
Love Francis. Very respectful guy.
You like big Cory 🤣 I didn't say it fury said it don't blame me for vulgar comment 🤣
@@manjunathnr4624 yes you like it
What a story, what a man, truly a role model! Hope Francis wins against UFC and gets paid as he deserves.
i really like this interview, a lot of different questions were answered and we saw a different side of Francis
One of the best podcasts i have ever watched
Am writing a novel called Francis Ngannou Robbed 😂
This man deserves all that comes his way!!!
Respect for this man.
swear man...i could listen to dude all day. his joe rogan episode was something else...my fave ever. hade crying n all sorts. i wish him everything he prays for.
Jeez, You have to love Ngannnu, the hardships that he has faced growing up, he is such a humble man, & he is dignified.
That’s what I’m sayin. I’ve been following the guy closely for 5 years. He has never wavered from his goal and ALWAYS been respectful. When I read a comment online talking bad about him it honestly angers me. It’s gotten better but they are still out there
The toughness and pains of life sometimes brings such humility ✨️ and grea strength with wisdom...Also a gentleness and softness ,rawness and genuiness...Notice this in Mike Tyson also both so huge ,powerful yet gentle & soft-spoken.
The picture at the end wow ngannu looked emotional seeing that. Awesome
Damn that was heavy...that metaverse line really lightened the whole thing up, that was genius.
The calmness he portraits is so relaxing and chilling
Life struggles. Never give up people
What a beautiful thing to do for Francis
Nice to c u doing so well and doing it so well congratulations Brian
Go Francis you are amazing 👏
Nice thing to do with the pic ..good on ya ...francis deserves all the respect in the world ...unity and peace to all
Geordie fixing that picture for Francis, was incredible what a great dude.
Geordie you're a legend. You were asking good and déep questions.🇿🇦
Awesome to watch this was and the picture at the end from true geordie was really thoughtful francis was taken back by that it was clear to see fair play
These athletes that came from extreme poverty to the greatest of successes while keeping humble are the ones young athletes should emulate. Ngannou, Pacquiao, Maradona, Bolt, LBJ, Holyfield
LOVE is a feeling but RESPECT is a right
Great interview mate 🥊🥊🥊
Big respect to this gorgeous guy… what’s he doing for the rest of my life? ;) loved this and thanks for sharing xx
