Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou confirmed that he can fight under mixed rules with the former WBC title holder in the heavyweight division Deontay Wilder.

ā€œIĀ prefer to fight only the best fighters,ā€ Ngannou said onĀ The Last Stand podcast. ā€” Why did I fight Tyson Fury? Since he is the best in boxing, I wanted to get to the top and fight with the best. IĀ want big fights, a big show. At the end of the day, this is a sport and we do what we have to do.

The talk about a mixed rules fight with Deontay Wilder is true because even before this fight [against Fury] we had negotiations.ā€

Let us remind you that earlier PFL founder Donn Davis said that he was working on organizing the Ngannou-Wilder fight.
