People were happy to see the African brothers together. Many expressed their prayers for the young soul while many prayed for blessings for Kamaru Usman for being there for Francis Ngannou. From what it appears, Usman has been a good friend to the Cameroonian.
This is not the first time he has been there to help ‘The Predator’. Ngannou had previously revealed that he owed Kamaru Usman $200,000. The former UFC heavyweight champion was broke at the time and took $600,000 for his last UFC fight instead of the $5 million offered. He owed Usman $200,000 and was able to pay back the loan after his boxing match against Anthony Joshua which earned him a $20 million payout.
