The former world heavyweight boxing champion wants to fight Francis Ngannou.
Deontay Wilder has named an opponent he wants to face in the near future. The former heavyweight champion said his dream is to fight former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
“I’m not sure about the fight in December, but anything is possible. We discussed with Francis, we had meetings with both sides. It was a real conversation not only between the fighting family, but also between our teams. Everyone talked on the phone.
It might actually happen to him. But overall, the best is yet to come. I have a lot to say, but ultimately we’ll see what happens when it happens.
This is the best way to say it, to let people down. These things are being talked about, but we’ll see when that happens. And when it does, it will be amazing.
Hey Francis, are you listening? We’ve talked about it before, and we have a chance to talk about it again. I’m aiming for a two-fight deal,” said Wilder as quoted by MMA Fighting.
We remind you, Alexander Usyk previously said why he refused to fight Deontay Wilder.
