Eddie Hearn has expressed interest in staging a fight for the former world champion against an MMA fighter.
Francis Ngannou has no problem with his opponents. Anthony Joshua is the next person ready to fight the ex-MMA champion. Former heavyweight champion Eddie Hearn’s promoter has expressed interest in holding such a fight.
The functionary honestly admitted that he had never discussed such an opportunity with his ward, but if an offer came, he advised him to definitely accept it.
“We would do this fight on December 23. No problem. We’re still looking at that date for Joshua. So maybe I’ll go to his team and just say, ‘Listen, if you want an opponent for Francis Ngannou, AJ is ready which is for December 23rd.” No problem.
Our plan before last Saturday is to fight in December or January and then fight Deontay Wilder. We are still planning. But today I reached out to Team Ngannou to say, “If we’re in your plans, let me know. If not, don’t worry about it, we’ll continue with our plan.”
I haven’t talked to AJ about the Ngannou fight. But my advice is to take it right away,” Hearn told BoxingNews+.
Let’s remember that Ngannou himself is asking for a rematch against Fury.
