Former UFC welterweight title contender Stephen Thompson shared his thoughts on the possible transition of the promotion champion in the heavyweight division Francis Ngannou into boxing.

Francis is the most dangerous person on the planet. The biggest and toughest guy in the world at the moment, especially in MMA, and how much does he earn now? They say he earned $600,000 in his last fight?

There are heavyweights in boxing who get paid $30 million, so I can understand Francis' frustration. But this is not boxing. What will he do outside of the UFC? There is only a fight with Tyson Fury - is that all? Does he plan to fight in the heavyweight division? To be honest, I think that such a move would be a mistake for him,” Thompson said in an interview with MiddleEasy.
