Overview

• Ngannou said he skipped the Cape Town debut and the Johannesburg follow‑up because the first show "seemed like an undercard" under Road to Dubai branding and did not reflect his vision for PFL Africa.
• He stated the PFL currently has no opponent for him in 2025 despite his outreach, indicating his next MMA bout is unlikely this year.
• He confirmed negotiations are being set up for a boxing match with Deontay Wilder, noting discussions have not yet been finalized.
• He dismissed talk of a UFC return, pointing to his PFL contract and saying a Jon Jones superfight never advanced because the UFC resists co-promotion.
• He said he will attend future PFL Africa events only if they are "set up right," after PFL founder Donn Davis publicly expressed disappointment over his absence.
