Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) came up with the idea to organize two fights with the former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. One such meeting could be held according to the rules of boxing, and the second - according to the rules of MMA.
“I would like to do it in Africa, let's sign a contract for two fights. Now all MMA fighters want to box, let's do it this way: first you will come to my house, and then I will come to you, ”the Bronze Bomber said in an interview with Trill Boxing Talk.
Deontay Wilder is not the first boxer interested in fighting Ngannou. Previously, the name of the ex-UFC champion appeared in the context of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, but in both cases the topic of a boxing match was discussed.
