Francis Ngannou was a recent guest on “The Ariel Helwani Show” and discussed whether his next bout will be under MMA rules or inside the boxing ring.

“It could be anybody,” Ngannou said. “I don’t know yet. I don’t have a hand in it, I don’t have a decision. I think it also depends on the promotion. I don’t know. If the next PFL they get it. a fight or a date, maybe we’ll work on it if it’s boxing, the same.”

As for when we might see Ngannou throw on the leather again, fight fans won’t have to wait too long to see “The Predator” compete again.

“First half, second quarter,” Ngannou said.

It will be interesting to see if the PFL has someone in mind with Ngannou to share the cage with. Some have suggested that the company should look to fighters in other promotions to match Ngannou.
