Francis Ngannou wants a fight against Deontay Wilder
PFL Super Fight heavyweight fighter Francis Ngannou has already faced Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the boxing ring. However, he is eager to step into the ring with another boxer.
Details: In an interview with TMZ Sports, Ngannou expressed his willingness to fight former WBC world champion Deontay Wilder.
Quote: "A fight with Wilder still interests me. Nothing has changed since our last conversation. If I only have a few fights left, I would like this to be one of them. I'll wait a few months and see if PFL arranges something. If not, I'll look for opportunities in boxing," Ngannou shared.
He added that while his focus is primarily on boxing, he is open to competing in both sports.
Notably, Francis Ngannou recently recalled how he coped with the loss of his son, admitting that the experience taught him he is not invincible.
Reminder: On October 19, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the "Battle of Giants," Ngannou faced PFL champion Renan Ferreira. The Franco-Cameroonian knocked out his Brazilian opponent in the first round, claiming the championship title (PFL — Professional Fighters League).
Ngannou had previously fought twice in professional boxing before announcing his return to MMA. He first lost in a close fight to Tyson Fury and was then knocked out by Anthony Joshua. The referee stopped the bout in the second round after Ngannou went down from a punch by “AJ.”
