Dmitriy Kel May 21, 2024, 3:17 a.m.

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman believes that his friend Francis Ngannou, who previously held the heavyweight title of the promotion, is capable of causing problems for the absolute heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk.

"I know it's crazy, but I would like to see Usyk fight Francis Ngannou. Yes, Oleksandr taught all his previous opponents a lesson, but Ngannou is the best puncher on the planet. I'd like to see how Usyk will cope with such an opponent," Usman said in the Pound4Pound podcast.

It will be recalled that last weekend Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision. As for Ngannou, he lost by knockout to Anthony Joshua in his last fight in March.
