Francis Ngannou delivers a knockout episode on Club Shay Shay, going toe-to-toe with Shannon Sharpe. The punches aren't just in the ring – Francis is throwing verbal jabs, expressing his desire to take on heavyweight giants Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua and rematch with Tyson Fury. He takes a swing at UFC contracts and Dana White, revealing some behind-the-octagon heat. Francis also says he would fight Jon Jones. #Volume #Herd See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But the real knockout is Francis Ngannou's incredible journey from Africa to Paris in 14 months – barbwire fences, inflatable boats, and more adversity - which displays why Francis isn’t afraid to go up against anyone. How about a culture lesson? Francis breaks down the true meaning of polygamy in Africa. Also, Francis shares the moment he knew he made it after traveling to the USA for the first time. Hold onto your gloves; this episode's a title bout of surprises. For example, you’ll never guess who Francis want to play him in a movie. Hint: it rhymes with “Skilled This Fella”.
