Ngannou crossed Europe to pursue his dream: to be a boxer

Francis Ngannou was born in Batié (Cameroon).As a child he had a dream: to be a boxer.He has always idolized Mike Tyson, whom he wanted to imitate.Despite this, he could not start boxing soon.At 10 he had to get to work in a mine to help the family economy.Twelve years later, he decided to turn his life.He decided to sell a motorcycle that he used to go to work and with the money he won, everything necessary to start boxing was bought.He also moved to another city, in which he could start practicing the sport with which he always dreamed.

With 25 years, Francis Ngannou realized that if he wanted to be a boxer he would have to leave his country.Therefore, after saving all the money he could set for Europe.His plan only told his sister, and he did it because if something went wrong he would need his help.His walked was very hard.He used more than a year to step on European soil.He was 14 months in Morocco and tried several times to jump Melilla's fence, which has left him scars visible by his body.In one of the last attempts he was going to do (seventh), he decided to take a patera and reached rate.

In Spain he was arrested.The lack of an agreement between Spain and Cameroon prevented it from being extradited and caused it to be released.His idea was to go to Germany or England, the European boxing engines, but economically he could not and took a bus to France.

The MMA crossed their way

In France, Ngannou was sleeping on the street for several days.Luckily, an organization that helps immigrants found him and offered his help.Instead of accepting food, he asked for a job.He agreed to him with the pleasant surprise that there was a gym of MMA next to.It wasn't boxing, but his dream was close.The main impediment was money, since I could not pay it, but Fernand López, owner of the MMA Factory, saw his qualities and trained for free.

With the talent he demonstrated, with 27 years (2013), he debuted as a professional.In just six fights they received the call from the UFC.His way in that company was glowing.Six victories, all before the limit, opened the door of the title.Fell to Stipe Miocic and then in front of Derrick Lewis.The relationship between Ngannou and López staggered.Together they managed to return to the path of the victory against Blaydes and the Cameroonian decided to break with his coach.Would make their preparations in the United States.

The change worked, since after three victories he met again with Stipe Miocic, which he won this time to be a champion.That separation was good on the one hand, but caused a distancing from Ngannou and the man who opted for him.Everything went up when López published a video of the Cameroonian sparring with win.The French fighter began to train in the same gym as Francis in his last stage.Therefore, last Saturday's fight was personal.Ngannou achieved victory, reaffirmed his status from the King of the Heavy and ended that rivalry in the best way for him.

His dream of being a boxer is still present
