American media sensation, Jake Paul has revealed how much former UFC star, Francis Ngannou will be earning in his boxing match debut against Tyson Fury.
The former UFC heavyweight champion earlier this month announced that he has signed on the dotted line for a boxing showdown with Fury.
This bout, which is slated to take place later this year in Saudi Arabia, will see the Cameroonian athlete earn in excess of $10 million, according to the post Paul posted on his Twitter.
Many have greeted this news with positive reactions, given the fact that a huge paycheck was one of Ngannou’s biggest reasons for leaving the UFC. Francis now looks set to benefit with a bout against British boxer, Fury.

BoxingReports from Boxing Social have stated that Ukrainian boxer, Oleksandr Usyk's team has openly expressed their frustrations regarding Fury's announcement of a fight with Francis. Usyk’s team even went as far as labelling the announcement as a 'joke'.
Usyk's promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, also expressed his strong dissatisfaction and has asked that the WBC champion should be stripped of his title due to a perceived lack of activity.
With the fight set to go ahead as planned, this only means the boxing world will have to wait a little longer to see the heavyweight titles unified. The chances of this happening remain bleak as both Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have refused to reach common ground about the issue of a potential bout.
