Francis Ngannou Says He Wants to Slap Jake Paul Around

Alexandr Ormanji April 27, 2026, 5:38 a.m.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou says he wants to give boxer and influencer Jake Paul a couple of slaps.

“I just want to slap him around a couple of times. Jake talks a lot of nonsense. I thought that after his first heavyweight fight and the knockout loss to Anthony Joshua, he’d understand things, but he keeps going.”

For reference, Paul was stopped by Anthony Joshua in his most recent fight. The Brit broke Jake’s jaw in several places.
