Helwani said that the venue would be in Saudi Arabia and that the bout would happen on February 25. The confirmation of the match had earlier been announced earlier. The promotion and organization of the match will be carried out by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions.
Previous attempts to organize a match between the two were unsuccessful for a variety of reasons, including visa hurdles and injury concerns.
Jake Paul discussed Ngannou’s free agency on Twitter by writing:
“Francis Ngannou is the baddest man on the planet & is a free agent bc he chose to be. He’s the heavyweight champ in MMA & will be until he loses. They [UFC] are not happy about this. But it’s reality, & they have to deal with it. They have to live with that everyday. @francis_ngannou”
Jake Paul recently stated that he would be making his mixed martial arts debut in the PFL’s new super division after signing with the organization.
Francis Ngannou posted a picture of his family on New Year’s Eve, where one of his family members was wearing a PFL t-shirt. Since Francis Ngannou is a free agent now, it is possible that he could join Paul at the promotion.
Ngannou seems more interested in boxing but Tyson Fury seems to be targeting Usyk boxing clash and it’s unclear when he can make an exhibition with Ngannou happen.
