Francis Ngannou admitted he has held on to \u201ca little bit of hope\u201d that the possibility of a fight with Jon Jones could materialise.<\/p>\n

Ngannou is due to meet Tyson Fury in the boxing ring on 28 October, in a big money fight due to take place in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Fury is the favourite heading into the clash, but Ngannou has reportedly been working with experts, including former boxer Mike Tyson to try and fing a way to land a knockout blow to the English boxer.<\/p>\n

The highly-anticipated bout is schedule for 10 rounds and is a fully professional affair, although Fury\u2019s WBC heavyweight title will not be competed for.<\/p>\n

The former UFC Heavyweight Champion also signed an MMA contract with the PFL this calendar year, but many hope he will takes on Jones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. Maybe he\u2019ll be a special fight, a special belt or something?\u201d Ngannou said regarding a potential fight with Jones on the Joe Rogan Experience. <\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe not like a UFC belt. To be honest, I don\u2019t worry about the title. The title is not what I worry about.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worry about that fight, that challenge. I wouldn\u2019t care if it was a fight without a title. In my [mind], I don\u2019t need a UFC title. That fight is bigger than a title. The fight is bigger than a title.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ngannou added: \u201cDeep inside me, I still have a little bit of hope (about a Jones fight), even though I know it\u2019s gonna be hard. But, you never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury has not competed so far this calendar year, and his last bout was when he defended the WBC belt in December 2022 against Derek Chisora.<\/p>\n

While Ngannou has never taken part in a professional boxing match, but has 20 professional MMA fights to his name, including a win to claim the UFC heavyweight title in January 2022.<\/p>\n
