“Who can beat my score?” asks Francis Ngannou on his social networks. Probably no one. The Cameroonian, a former MMA champion who now competes in English boxing, published a video of him punching a punching machine. His score? The maximum, 999. Without even forcing.
“He caused an earthquake of magnitude 8.8”, “A beast!”, “He didn’t even go all the way”, “The shot sounded like a shotgun”, we can read in bulk on X (formerly Twitter), where the video already had more than seven million views on Tuesday evening. Francis Ngannou, former heavyweight champion of the UFC (the world’s largest MMA league), is preparing to compete in his second boxing fight against the British Anthony Joshua, on Friday March 8 in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
