Francis Ngannou has no interest in boxing Jake Paul.
Paul defeated Mike Tyson via unanimous decision in an eight-round headliner during Friday night’s Paul vs. Tyson event on Netflix. The fight was not one fans will go back and re-watch, but it did earn the 58-year-old a big payday. After the bout, Ngannou reacted to Paul’s win on Twitter, jokingly saying he would slap Paul next time he sees him, while Paul responded that maybe current UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones is “the better heavyweight after all.”
Ngannou was asked about his interest in a fight with Paul, and the PFL Superfights champ shrugged it off.
“No, no, no, no, c’mon, don’t be silly,” Ngannou told TMZ.
“Maybe if we put [Jake and Logan Paul] in the cage, maybe there’s something to do there. C’mon, like respect me a little bit.”
