Jake Paul Says He’s Talked To Francis Ngannou About Signing W/ His Promotion Company

Francis Ngannou requires a brand-new promoter after parting methods with Dana White and the UFC … and Jake Paul might be his person, ’cause the Problem Child informs us he’s spoken with The Predator about signing with Most Valuable Promotions!

26-year-old Paul signed up with Babcock on the TMZ Sports television program (airs weeknights on FS1) … where MB asked if he’d talked with 36-year-old Ngannou, and it ends up he has.

“We have talked,” Jake stated, “The Most Valuable Promotions team, we talked to Francis, and we think we can do a great job for him. We share the same vision on a lot of things. Hopefully, Francis sees this as well but regardless, we’re always gonna be there to support him.”

Paul went on to state he’s “working on something” in mixed martial arts, prior to including, “Francis is a great guy and I think there’s a lot of opportunities for us together.”

Aside from being a 6-0 fighter himself, Jake runs MVP … where he’s signed undeniable champ Amanda Serrano, perhaps the baddest female fighter on the planet. With Paul’s assistance, Serrano belonged to the most significant female boxing match in history when she handled fellow champ and star, Katie Taylor.

Jake likewise signed 19-year-old, 8-0 fighter Ashton Sylve in 2022 … who Paul calls the “next big star,” in addition to 12-0 female fighter, Shadasia Green.

Paul has a big battle turning up on February 26 in Saudi Arabia, versus his bitter competitor, 23-year-old unbeaten fighter Tommy Fury, and Jake says he’s contributed to his collection, and he’s prepared to reveal he’s much better than ever.

“[Training camp was] good, man, it’s really really good. I’ve reached new levels, implemented new skills into this camp, and I’m excited to put those on display against a professional boxer from a legendary bloodline and a legendary family.”

Of course, heavyweight champ Tyson Fury is the half-brother of Tommy.

Paul and Fury were formerly expected to combat on 2 celebrations, however Tommy took out (initially for an injury, 2nd for travel concerns). Earlier today, Fury stopped working to appear for a marketing media occasion, which honestly pissed Jake off.

“It’s typical Tommy behavior. It’s unfortunate because he’s really just harming the event, harming the fans, and it’s unprofessional, and I’m a bit sick of dealing with him on the business side of things,” Paul stated.

“But two weeks from now no one’s ever gonna have to hear his name again.”

For what it deserves, Jake says he thinks Tommy will appear for the battle this time around, informing us … “He’s going to be there.”

Paul likewise broke down 8-0 Fury, and was even (rather) complementary.

“He’s a good fighter. He’s fast. He has good range, good combinations, all of these things. But he doesn’t have power. He doesn’t have what it takes to stop me from coming at him and defeating him.”

Tommy appears to see things in a different way and informed us previously today he was going to send out Jake house in an ambulance.

But, Paul says Fury’s “emulating his brother”, however with one difference … “[Tyson] actually does it and backs it up.”

“I’m [Tommy’s] first real opponent and it’s gonna be a rude, rude awakening for him when he gets in the ring, under those lights, and someone like me is coming at him, punching him up and down nonstop. He’s not gonna like this sport.”

As for who he wishes to combat after Fury (there’s no rematch provision per Jake), Paul has a couple of concepts.
