Ngannou made his professional boxing debut in October 2023 against the heavyweight legend Tyson Fury. Even with the defeat, the Cameroonian shocked the world by delivering a tough duel, including a knockdown applied to the English veteran. However, in his second engagement in the noble art, against Anthony Joshua, the 'Predator' was largely dominated and suffered a brutal knockout in the second round.

New PFL signing, Ngannou is expected to return to MMA in the coming months and already has a defined opponent: the Brazilian Renan Problem who knocked out the veteran Ryan bader last February and confirmed himself as the rival who will welcome the Cameroonian to his new home.
