Francis Ngannou Payment For Tyson Fury Fight Clarified To Be $10,00,000 + 'Not 8 Figures'- Statement By Jake Paul and Ariel Helwani

Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou will face boxing world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury In late October in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There is a lot of talk about this fight as many fans awaited for both parties to finalize a deal for their boxing match. As noted earlier, Ngannou left UFC to get a greater deal, and he is indeed getting it for his fight with the ‘Gypsy King.’ However, fans are confused with the former UFC Champion’s earning in the upcoming Fury vs Ngannou fight. Meanwhile, Jake Paul and Ariel Helwani come to the rescue.

Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou will take place in Saudi Arabia on October 28th. With such a big fight, both fighters will earn big fight purses. However, a misleading report claimed Ngannou would reportedly receive $8 million, similar to the contract Dana White offered him. This fueled the fans with negative comments regarding the Predator’s UFC departure.

Recently, Jake Paul and Ariel Helwani used Twitter to clear up the confusion about Ngannou’s fight pay. Jake Paul stated the deal is not assuring $8 million but instead 8 figures. He added that the former UFC champion will get $10 million and a share of the PPV earnings. Ariel Helwani supported Jake Paul’s statement and stated why there was a false report about an eight-figure payout.

Accurate, from what I’m told. Not sure where this 8 mil number came from, but it is not the truth https://t.co/5zLpryBWvm

Francis Ngannou says he proved Dana White Wrong each time

UFC President Dana White tried to resign Francis Ngannou after his contract expired. However, the 36-year-old fighter refused to sign the contract due to not fulfilling his requirements. That being said, his relationship with White was not good post-2018.

While speaking to SiriusXM, Ngannou mentioned he thinks he proved White wrong multiple times. “For some reason, I always prove Dana White wrong, even when he’s on my side. I always prove him wrong every single time. This is just our story.”

After months of criticism and indirect replies, Francis Ngannou booked his dream fight with Tyson Fury. This is a big achievement for the former UFC fighter as he climbs one step closer to his dreams. This is also one big punch for White as he heavily backfired Ngannou’s decision to leave UFC for better fight money.
