Ngannou reacts to rumors about a fight with Wilder
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.
“I prefer to fight only the best fighters,” Ngannou said on The Last Stand podcast. — 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. I 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.”
