Ngannou was reportedly very well paid for his professional boxing debut with the 37-year-old said to have earned around £8.7MILLION.

And the incredible sum didn’t just change his life, but also the life of his coach for the fight, Eric Nicksick.

The Cameroon-born fighter has been coached by Nicksick since 2018 and certainly thanked the American for his help after the fight.

Nicksick revealed that Ngannou’s generosity following his split-decision loss to Fury has flipped his life upside down.

Speaking to MMA Junkie, he said: “It was the most money I’ve ever been paid by a fighter – it was unbelievable,

“It was more than I expected. Obviously, Francis has always taken great care of me, but it floored me.”

Boxers are generally understood to pay coaches anywhere between five and 20 per cent of their earnings following a fight.

And whatever figure it was that Ngannou gave Nicksick it certainly left him grateful for the changes it allowed him to make.

He went on to say: “When I saw my Wells Fargo account that morning, it literally brought me to tears.

“That’s a true story. Literally brought me to tears because he changed my life – not only from a professional standpoint, but a monetary standpoint.

“It allowed me a lot of financial freedom. To allow me to be able to enjoy my coaching, enjoy being a dad and a husband,

“And I get to take my kids to Park City this weekend, for my daughter’s 16th birthday. It helped us buy a new car.

“There’s a lot of things with Francis moving over to boxing, and the way he takes care of his team.

“He loves every single one of us and he shows it. He takes care of us, and I couldn’t thank him enough.”
