Former mixed martial arts champion Francis Ngannou has announced his return to the octagon.
On October 16, the MMA fighter will face Renan Ferreira, the heavyweight champion, in a PFL match.
The Franco-Cameroonian fighter will be stepping into an MMA bout for the first time in 33 months.
Ngannou has fought his last two matches in professional boxing. First, Francis lost in a competitive fight to Tyson Fury, and then he was knocked out in a match with Anthony Joshua. The referee stopped the fight in the second round after Francis fell from AJ's punch.
Ngannou previously revealed that he does not remember how he entered the second round of the fight with Joshua.
