Former WBC Silver Cruiserweight Champion Dmitry Kudryashov in a conversation with , he said the Cameroonian Francois Ngannou there is nothing to offer the best boxers, and his strong punch in this sport will not be so relevant.
UFC chief Dana White said Sunday that Ngannou had vacated the heavyweight title and could “fight anywhere” as the sides failed to agree on a new contract. Ngannou has been playing in the UFC since 2015, in the championship he has won 12 times with two losses. The Cameroonian won the heavyweight title in March 2021 in a fight with Stipe Miocic. The Cameroonian managed to hold a defense against Cyril Gan. Ngannou later revealed he would like to fight Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.
– With someone from the top heavyweights, I don’t see Ngannou’s chances. And because of what? Scare someone with a loud blow? Well, probably, it can still be done at the regional championship. It is unclear how Ngannou can win. Yes, his multi-ton strikes that he shows on the simulator are not about boxing.
For me, as a boxer, it’s good that people want to compete in our sport. After all, boxers don’t go to other martial arts. This suggests that boxing hasn’t lost its former appeal. Although they are starting to say that boxing is starting to lose in terms of entertainment, Kudryashov told .
– Speaking of boxing, one cannot help but remember one very important factor – fees, which are much lower in other types of martial arts.
– Well, what are the fees. In football, they are even higher. It all depends on the promotion and popularity, the involvement of the public. But we are only talking about the sporting side. And how much Ngannou earns – it doesn’t make me hot or cold. But in terms of the sport, it’s unlikely that Ngannou can show anything against the top heavyweights. Well, let’s imagine Ngannou and Ruiz fighting, what he’s going to do against a chubby guy… I don’t know.
