Ngannou's current contract negotiations with UFC has been a major topic of discussion of late. The reigning UFC heavyweight champion's contract is set to expire in December 2022 and he isn't exactly on good terms with the promotion's administration.

'The Predator' was asked about his boxing aspirations during his post-fight octagon interview with Joe Rogan. He stated that boxing is something that he plans on pursuing before his career ends.

He said:

"It's something that I must do before the end of my career! And right now, I'm looking towards any opportunity to get that because it's not like I have a lifetime here."
