"I'd rather have a dream without a life than having a life without a dream" I like the quote Francis! He risked his life crossing an ocean on a makeshift boat to pursue his dream of becoming a true champion. If he didn’t take the risk would have meant living a hard life in his Village submitting to life and giving up on his dream. That life to him was worse than dying 🥲

As a big mma and UFC enthusiast, I have been following Francis for a while. This guy is different man. Not only did he with stand the toughest conditions in Africa growing up, escape across the most dangerous terrains for a better life, become homeless in Europe only to reach the highest heights in combat sports. This guy couldn't speak a lick of English around 2020. He needed a translator in every interview. Francis learned and mastered a language in a matter of 3 - 4 years. Most people would give up. There are other athletes who have been in the same sport for over 10 years and still can not say a sentence in English. It's not that I'm saying English is important but I am showing how it is a testament to the mental fortitude and resolve of this man. This guy is just built different physically and mentally. Most people would crumble having to endure half of what he has endured. It is insane to witness.

i think it's somewhat of a mistranslation tbh. i don't think he's necessarily feeling the negative feelings often associated with loneliness. he just likes to be by himself as he adapted through life that way. i get it. i think everyone can do it if they get used to loneliness enough. i think 99% of people need some kind of interaction/positive feedback from humans but you can get to the point where you need less than most people. i think it often comes from being deprived of it though. you just learn to adapt.

The interesting thing is how he describes "introversion" is textbook perfect, although he didn't use the term. A lot of people think of introversion as shyness. It is not. Introversion is best described as energy being replenished when alone and being drained when in large groups. Extroversion is best described as energy being drained when alone and being replenished in groups. It is NOT so much about your communication skills or your body language. It is really about energy. An introvert CAN function in social settings, just as an extrovert can be alone. The only thing is there is a limit to how long they can do it before feeling drained. An introvert can be the life of the party, they just would not want to do it for too long. An extrovert might feel like they cannot get enough of it. There is not really some sort of disadvantage to being introverted. It has its strengths just as extroversion does. It is NOT some sort of 'problem' to be solved as many think, like shyness or anxiety. In fact the only problem that introverts face is simply from extroverts MISUNDERSTANDING what both extroversion and introversion are. An introvert that is understood has no problems whatsoever.

@@TopeA8 i agree one hundred percent. My friends always tell me that I don't talk enough and when I'm quiet they assume something is wrong with me and then i have to talk to let them know I'm alright. It's not like i never talk or something like that. if i find their topic of discussion interesting or if it's my area of interest, i do indulge in their conversations. I listen to whatever they have to say even if that topic is not my area of interest. I actively listen and I don't simply nod my head so I don't understand why people think that only talking is communication, listening is also a big part of it. To add to your point, a little empathy from the extrovert community would be nice. To all the extroverts, we both have our strengths and weaknesses so keep an open mind and please stop saying stuff like, "you're so quiet, you're shy" and stuff like that. Us introverts don't say, "you talk too much" or whatever. And I'm not saying all extroverts are like that.

Beautiful indeed.

Just when you think you have scratched the surface of Francis’ mind you hear these childhood memories of the spirit inhabiting his body. Mind blowing human being. And the way he describes his loss to Tyson as a win: pure indomitable spirit.

Francis Ngannou’s mindset is as strong as his body and I really admire his determination to see how far he can go in boxing. He’s not doing it on a whim or ego trip, he’s doing it because he loves boxing and has always wanted to be a boxer. I would love to see him go all the way. I think Anthony Joshua will a big challenge. We’ve seen his recent difficulties coming through a bitter loss to Usyk and his determination to get back on track with wins against opponents carefully picked to boost his confidence. Joshua has skills and definitely has power, but he also knows he has a vulnerable chin. You might as well paint a bullseye on it because if Ngannou can hit it Joshua is finished. That’s got to give Ngannou a lot of confidence going into the fight. I quite fancy Ngannou’s chances.

Francis has a shot of being undisputed. Crazy

Some will never understand that feeling of not trying to fit in...a simple way of life than being a follower...it takes time for one to accept and realize that power of self humbleness..

Fascinating account on the strengths of visualising and creating your own reality.

@@HellBlazerMNE07 I don't agree with this at all. The heavyweights back in the days used to cut weight, especially water weight like the wrestlers, and they didn't lift weights. Ali during the 60s walked around at 240+ pounds and Tyson during the 80s blew up to 280 pounds and then cut down to 240 pounds during fight camp. The ideal weight for a heavyweight back then was around 210-230 pounds, which is what Usyk weighs now at heavyweight. Francis looks good because this heavyweight era is garbage and weakest along with the Klitschko era. Fury's biggest win is a 40 year old Klitschko and Wilder who learned to box at 19. Wilder's biggest win is a 40 year old Ortiz and he won the belt against Stiverne who is one of the worst champions in history. Joshua's biggest win is a 41 year old Klitschko. Whyte's biggest win is a 40 year old Povetkin. Usyk became the heavyweight champ in his third heavyweight fight. And Zhang at 40 is capable of beating them all. Ali is literally the goat; 19 title defenses and 22 title fight wins in 25 world title fights having fought/beaten around 20 champions and 20 hall of famers. Tyson during the 80s is the most technical heavyweight. And then there's Foreman, Liston, Lewis, Holmes, Holyfield, Bowe and even Vitali who would have beaten these heavyweights.

Martial arts produces interesting characters who really inspire: Mike Tyson (one of the greatest contemporary philosophers), Fury with bpd, Usyk and also Francis with his bigger than life story. Before Prince Naseem, Ali and Duran etc.

what a frigging inspiration!

I have the highest amount of respect for the poise and the strive within this mans heart. It is something we all once had or at least wished we possessed but were to scared to act upon. To find fullfilment we need to rediscover what we are and what our dreams were about and act upon them with unwavering courage. And a moment of silence is needed for those who could not make it out of misery like the *Unbreakable Francis Ngannou*

He is always speaking life, wisdom and he deserve the credit
