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.
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

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 .
Francis's story is so inspirational. Let him be an example that you can accomplish anything. Don't ever give up.

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.

Some of the people who left Cameroon are still poor cause they aren’t working hard enough to achieve things. It’s simple
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

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
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.

What a nice touch doing that photo for him mate. Top man ❤️
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
Only ever seen him fighting but what a nice humble big guy he is.
What a man 🙌 big respect
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.
Thanks for this interview
One of the best podcasts i have ever watched
Watching his journey since joining UFC I am in awe how far he has come. Inspires so many people around the world.
