“My respect to my brother”. Kylian Mbappe addressed Ngannou
Real Madrid’s star forward, Kylian Mbappé, reached out to PFL heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, congratulating him on his victory over Renan Ferreira.
Quote: "Respect to my brother," Mbappé wrote on Instagram, posting a photo of himself alongside Ngannou.
To recall: On October 19, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Ngannou faced Brazil’s Renan Ferreira in the "Battle of Giants" event. The Franco-Cameroonian knocked out his opponent in the first round, claiming the PFL heavyweight title (PFL — Professional Fighters League).
Ngannou had previously competed in two professional boxing bouts before announcing his return to MMA. He first lost a competitive fight against Tyson Fury, followed by a knockout defeat at the hands of Anthony Joshua. The referee stopped the match in the second round after Ngannou was floored by an AJ punch.
