Post-workout, Ngannou engaged in interviews where his charismatic persona took center stage. A memorable moment unfolded when a female reporter inquired about watching the open workout.
The reporter asked: “Is that something you want to do, watch him do his open workout?”
Feeling quite confident, Ngannou replied: “I have something else to do, which is you.”
Ngannou’s playful banter added an element of lightheartedness, showcasing his confidence not only in the ring but also in conversation.
Ngannou’s boldness extended beyond the interview room, as he recently playfully shot his shot at celebrity influencer Kim Kardashian.

Known for his ability to knock out opponents, Ngannou voiced doubt about Joshua’s chin during an interview. “If AJ takes the punch that Fury took, I don’t guarantee that he’s standing up. I’ve heard that he doesn’t have a chin. I’m going to find out.”
Ngannou reaffirmed his plans when questioned about his resistance to punches. He stated: “I have something else to do, which is you.”
