Francis Ngannou has lived a storied life and it appears that there might be many more incredible chapters to add.
Earlier this week, the French heavyweight signed a groundbreaking deal with the PFL, which means there’s multiple possibilities for Ngannou to add to his already impressive profile.
With opportunities in his beloved MMA seemingly endless, Ngannou has also expressed an interest to cross over to boxing.
Fights with Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder have been spoken about for Ngannou, and when all is said and done on his career, it’s possible that Hollywood may want to chronicle Ngannou’s exploits.
Speaking on a potential movie highlighting his tale, Ngannou offered his thoughts.
“We did have a proposal,” said Ngannou when discussing the subject of a movie with The DAZN MMA Show.
“A movie from my life? There’s a lot more coming so if I do a movie now, I will miss a lot from my life. I still have a lot of exciting years in front of me. At least five years.”
On the question on who would play Ngannou in the movie, he added, “I’ve been asked that question already and one person comes out of my mind, Idris Elba.”
