For former world boxing champion Carl Frampton, Francis Ngannou does indeed have a place in boxing. The 37-year-old Irishman believes the Cameroonian could beat several heavyweights outside the world's Top 15.
Things move fast in sport.After his disputed loss to Tyson Fury, many observers saw Ngannou shining in boxing.But the Cameroonian was quickly slowed down by Anthony Joshua a few days ago. He was no match for the Briton.So much so that some observers are calling for him to return to MMA. Carl Frampton, former featherweight world champion, disagrees.
"The money he's making in boxing is incredible, it's better than anything he's done in the UFC so far. There are still fights for him and he put in a very, very credible performance against Fury, let's not forget that. He's had two boxing fights, a very close one against who the majority of boxing fans consider the best heavyweight, and then a loss to AJ [Joshua], and that's what happens with heavyweight boxing. If he wants to, I think there's still a place for him at the boxing table," says Frampton. Ngannou will appreciate that. In any case, his name is currently associated with an MMA fight against Brazilian Renan Ferreira.
