Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francois Ngannou said he was in talks to set up two fights under boxing rules with the former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder .
We are looking for Wilder because he is available. He’s ready for it. He wants it. We even discussed the possibility of a fight in Africa and another fight elsewhere. Why not even have two fights in Africa?
I can knock anyone out. But there are some things you need to be clear about. It’s not like “hit me, I’ll hit you, and then we’ll see who falls”. It’s a combat sport. Everyone tries not to get hit. I’m thinking more about fighting technique, – quoted by Ngannou TMZ .
Earlier in March at UFC 285 in Las Vegas, Jon Jones defeated Frenchman Cyril Gan by first-round submission to win the heavyweight title. The fighters played for the belt, which remained vacant after Ngannou’s decision to leave the UFC due to disagreements over a new contract with the promotion.
