Publisher's Synopsis
The Incredible Odyssey: From Poverty & Homelessness to the Most Intimidating Fighter in the UFC
"I came from scratch. Absolutely nothing. But I think I've shown that if you have a dream, you can achieve it. Because only I know the conviction I had, as a young man, to be a champion. Realizing my dream is a great way for me to help the people of my country, who also have dreams, and who only have those dreams to fill their hearts. In Cameroon, many young people see me as their role model and dream of doing like me and saying " I will be MMA Champion. I'll box-like Francis. "It's because these people saw me young, destitute. I didn't stand a chance. And now they see me, and they dream about it. They're starting to think it's possible. It's not simple. It's hard, but it's possible! I figured that among those kids I left behind, with their eyes on me... Just for that alone, it would be worth trying something. Today, I am honored to build the first fully equipped MMA and combat sports gymnasium in Cameroon through the FRANCIS NGANNOU FOUNDATION. It's a way for me to allow them, like me, to dream. " - Francis NGANNOU
In this incredible Odyssey, you will see the world through the eyes of the man from BATIE, who holds the world record for the most powerful shot. Aptly nicknamed THE Predator, Francis is feared by his opponents for his spectacular knockouts. In this new and inspiring book, you will discover his dreams, his struggles, his sufferings and above all fourteen principles of success inspired by the incredible journey of a homeless and undocumented man who landed in France illegally in 2013 with just 100 in his pocket, and whose only ambition was to become the boxing champion. He is now the new UFC Superstar. To date, Francis has fought a total of seventeen fights, including fourteen victories and three defeats. In August 2019, The Fierce Heavyweight Artist joined the cast of the ninth film "Fast & Furious" in a mysterious role.
