The head of the promotional company Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn commented on the desire of the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou meet in the boxing ring with one of the leaders of the "royal" division - Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua.
“Ngannou vs Joshua or Fury is a mismatch, it's too early to tell until we see this guy in the ring. If I were Francis, here's what I would do: spend a couple of fights and work on myself to get to the level where you can talk about the possibility of a fight with Joshua, ”BoxingScene quotes Hearn.
Over the weekend, it became known that Ngannou refused to renew his contract with the UFC and left the organization as a free agent.
