Rahman gave a categorical forecast for a potential fight between Wilder and Ngannou

Illustrious former world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman expressed the opinion that the former WBC belt holder Deontay Wilder will deal with the mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou in the early rounds if their fight is scheduled.

Let us remember that at the end of October, Ngannou made his debut in professional boxing, losing to Tyson Fury by split decision. During the fight, the Cameroonian managed to score a knockdown.

“I think Ngannou will fight another top 10 heavyweight fighter. Fury was having a bad day. But it seems to me that if Ngannou meets Wilder, he will end up knocked out in one or two rounds. Styles make fights, and preparation can play an important role. I believe that Tyson was not ready to show his best skills,” Rahman said in an interview with the YouTube channel FightHype.
