Reug Reug Challenges Francis Ngannou for Historic Heavyweight Showdown

Francis Ngannou may have found his next opponent, as MMA champion Reug Reug calls for a showdown with “The Predator.” The recently crowned ONE Championship heavyweight title-holder made waves by defeating Anatoly Malykhin at ONE 169, securing a close and controversial victory. Following his monumental win, Reug Reug is eager to take on a new challenge and is publicly calling for a high-stakes fight against Ngannou.

In an Instagram post, Reug Reug urged ONE Championship and PFL to organize the match, promising a historic battle between two of Africa’s top MMA fighters. Declaring that he’s been consistently underestimated, the Senegalese fighter sees a fight with Ngannou as a chance to further his legacy and showcase African pride on the world stage.

Meanwhile, Ngannou, who recently ventured into the boxing ring, also has opportunities there, with high-profile names seeking to challenge him. Following a closely contested match with Tyson Fury and a subsequent loss to Anthony Joshua, Ngannou may consider both MMA and boxing offers as he weighs his next steps.
