Francis Ngannou trusts his compatriots. Or at least, he believes in their chances of final victory at the African Cup of Nations. This Monday, the Cameroonian MMA fighter revealed that he had made a stratospheric bet on the title of the Indomitable Lions this year in Morocco.
To prove his point, the former UFC fighter even posted his betting slip on his Facebook page. “Good luck to all participating countries in CAN 2025,” he wrote in the caption of the photo of his betting ticket. Give us a thrill, guys. I’m betting everything on our Indomitable Lions. With a rating of 21, it’s hard to resist. »
And there was no dead hand with nearly 210 million CFA francs placed on a rating of 21. This represents a total of 320,000 euros, which can be transformed into 6,720,000 euros. A tidy sum, even when you’re rich like Francis Ngannou.
MMA fighter and boxer, the Cameroonian notably earned 9.1 million euros for his only English boxing fight against Tyson Fury. With his MMA fights, his contract with the PFL, the income from his UFC title, his bank account is now well stocked. A beautiful story for a man who was homeless when he arrived in Paris in 2014.
