Wilder appreciates Ngannou's striking power

Former WBC world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder spoke about the striking power of the mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou.

“I’m happy for Francis, but the fact is that women lie, men lie - but the numbers don’t lie. I’ve been in this business for a very long time, and every opponent I’ve crossed paths with has been knocked out. I don’t think he can boast the same. At the same time, he has strength, he can hit well.

However, when it comes to the most feared puncher in combat sports, everyone immediately looks to the guy who holds that title. Just a fact,” Wilder said in an interview with YouTube channel SHOWTIME Sports.
