Ngannou has boxed two times professionally, twice losing to Tyson Fury. In 2023, he lost a controversial verdict and in 2024, he was knocked out by Anthony Joshua. “No, there’s no such thing happening. How can they go from Gervonta Davis to Francis Ngannou? I mean, Gervonta Davis is a fantastic boxer, he’s a one-shot knockout artist but come on… “The weight difference and everything, it makes no sense. Gervonta Davis, you count and say: ‘Okay, the size difference, he can level up.’ But at this point, for me, it makes no sense.” Davis holds a world title at lightweight, several divisions below Paul’s preferred division of cruiserweight – although Paul has fought at heavyweight before.open image in galleryFrancis Ngannou mocks Tyson Fury after knocking down the boxer (AFP via Getty Images)“I’m like, ‘No, bro, come on, don’t disrespect me like that,’” Ngannou continued. “They even come out after and say: ‘What if the numbers are good?’ He [unknown] sends out some number, and I’m like: ‘It’s not about the number. If it was about the number, we could have started up.’ I’m just not interested, it makes no sense for me. It’s not what I’m looking at right now.”Another mooted opponent was former interim world champion Ryan Garcia, but the 27-year-old’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya dismissed the idea. “Let me just tell you why this fight isn’t going to happen,” De La Hoya remarked, before referring to the broadcasting situation. “Ryan Garcia fights for DAZN and Jake Paul fights on Netflix. I mean, that’s pretty much the bottom like. Golden Boy [Promotions] has a contract with DAZN, Ryan Garcia has a contract with Golden Boy, and that’s just the way it is. This is business.“Ryan Garcia is probably going to go on a rant saying, ‘Oh, you’re keeping me from making money,’ and this and that. No, you have to go by the law, by the rules. You have a contract with DAZN, you have a contract with Golden Boy. It just doesn’t happen that way.open image in galleryRyan Garcia (left) and his promoter, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya (Getty Images)“Ryan Garcia’s next fight will be announced, by me, who he’s fighting and when he’s fighting next.”Meanwhile, the betting favourite to be Paul’s next opponent is Nate Diaz, the UFC icon whom Paul dropped and outpointed in a boxing match in 2023. After that contest, there was talk of a rematch between Paul and Diaz, 40, in MMA – potentially under the PFL banner.
