Ahead of his much anticipated fight with Tyson Fury, Francis Ngannou has been filmed training with former world champion Mike Tyson, with Big Mike question the technique of the MMA star.
Francis Ngannou went to great lengths to escape poverty before becoming a UFC superstar and booking a multi-million-dollar fight with Tyson Fury.
It proved to be an incredible 14-month journey that saw him cross the Sahara Desert, drink dirty ‘dead animal’ water, and spend time in prison. "There we started to be illegal because from us to get there we need a visa, but from there we didn't have a visa," Ngannou said.Sean Strickland went to first Power Slap and his stunned reaction to hit is pricelessCredit: @francisngannou - instagram
On the brink of dying of dehydration, he was forced to drink water that had “dead animals” in it before trying to get through the Algerian border with a fake ID. Things didn’t get any easier. Ngannou aimed to make it to one of two Spanish islands - Ceuta or Melilla – as once he was there, he could claim asylum.
