Sterling: Ngannou proved that MMA fighters can compete with boxers

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling commented on Francis Ngannou's debut in professional boxing.

Let us remind you that on October 28, Ngannou lost to Fury by split decision. During the fight, the former UFC heavyweight title holder managed to score a knockdown.

"Francis! It was impressive and one can still argue who actually won. Conor became a pioneer in this matter, and Ngannou opened the gates wide in this endeavor.

Francis proved that with the right training, MMA fighters can compete on equal terms with professional boxers,” Sterling wrote in X.
