The former UFC heavyweight champion and current boxing superstar is backing his home nation in a huge show of confidence ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Born in Batié, Cameroon, Ngannou has never hidden his pride in the Indomitable Lions, and this bet only reinforces how strongly he believes in their chances on the continental stage.
A wager of this size isn’t just pocket change, it’s a bold statement. If Cameroon go all the way, Ngannou stands to win a significant payout, but more importantly, it highlights the deep emotional connection between athletes and their countries.
For fans, it adds extra drama and pressure: every match Cameroon plays now feels even bigger with one of Africa’s most famous sports figures publicly putting his money where his heart is.
Cameroon, a five-time AFCON champion, enter the tournament with history on their side but fierce competition ahead.
With Ngannou’s high-stakes bet making headlines, the spotlight on the Indomitable Lions just got even brighter. One thing’s for sure: all eyes will be on Cameroon to see if they can turn Ngannou’s faith, and fortune into AFCON glory.
