He explains how timing, organization tactics, and fatigue undermined him against Joshua, and why he still believes he has several big boxing and MMA fights left. Beyond competition, Ngannou outlines his long‑term mission with PFL Africa: building gyms, infrastructure, and opportunity for fighters across the continent. In an emotional final segment, he shares the recent loss of his 15‑month‑old son, how it’s reshaped his perspective on life and fighting, and his determination to honor his child by continuing to pursue purposeful work and inspire others.
