Deontay Wilder accepts call from Francis Ngannou
Now the Cameroonian is actively looking for rivals.
Francis Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion who recently became a free agent, wants to start a boxing career.
He has already named several names of preferred opponents with whom he would like to compete in the ring. One of them was former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
Reacting to Ngannou's challenge, the American very nobly noted that even the toughest mixed martial arts fighter in the ring would be a clear outsider against a professional boxer. Therefore, he agrees to hold two fights with him.
“I am ready to accept you first on my territory - in the ring, and then move on to yours. I have no experience in mixed martial arts, but of course, if this happens, I will go to training and all that, ”said Wilder.
