Francis Ngannou is basking in the glow of success following his recent performance in his professional boxing debut against Tyson Fury.

He also engaged in a fiercely competitive split decision that ultimately favored the WBC heavyweight champion.

Francis Ngannou's manager provides update on 'The Predator's upcoming fight
Against all odds, Francis Ngannou defied expectations by pushing Tyson Fury to the brink in their bout
His display of skills against the WBC heavyweight champion has opened up a world of possibilities for 'The Predator.' This has been underscored by recent developments, including British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn's keen interest in organizing a bout with Anthony Joshua. Similarly, PFL chairman Donn Davis is diligently pursuing a hybrid MMA fight that would involve Deontay Wilder.
During a recent interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Francis Ngannou's manager, Marquel Martin, shared insights on his client's anticipated return:
"I think we will see him again in Q1 [2024]. Whether that's with his partners at the PFL or a hybrid of some sort. I think all options are on the table and it's going to be exciting that who really wants to fight him. It's not so much Francis chasing, which is a good situation to be in. I would say the decision is probably 90% made, not 100%."
