Francis Ngannou welcomes Jake Paul potential fight: ‘I can kick his ass!’ says MMA superstar

Francis Ngannou has admitted that a Jake Paul fight is now firmly in his plans after the YouTube star called him out for a boxing fight.

Paul's promotional company, MVP, is organising Ngannou's big MMA bout against against Philipe Lins on May 16, but 'The Problem Child' took the microphone at the launch press conference to issue a verbal challenge towards the former UFC heavyweight champion.

Ngannou admits he had not previously considered Paul as a future opponent, but he now expects to return to boxing for a grudge fight.
