"After signing with PFL and the nearly unprecedented career flexibility it offered, Ngannou competed in two high-level marquee boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua before making his mark inside and outside of the SmartCage. Helping launch the PFL Africa brand, which has given opportunities to top talent on the continent, Ngannou served as chairman."
