Francis Ngannou is back in the octagon this month when he faces Ciryl Gane in a UFC Heavyweight Championship junction bout.
The Cameroonian-who holds the record for being the hardest puncher in the world- won the title at UFC 260 against Stipe Miocic via a alternate- round knockout.
After refusing a fight against Derrick Lewis at UFC 265, arguing the two-and-a-month period between his original palm was too short, Ngannou and UFC President Dana White have had a public war of words.
The Frenchman Ciryl Gane did take up the challenge against Lewis, winning the interim belt via TKO in Round 3.
White has lately claimed that he and Ngannou are on good terms, with Gane and Ngannou set to put the heavyweight title saga to an end latterly this month in Anaheim, California.
