Finkel: "There will be no Wilder-Ngannou fight in 2026"

Andrew Karlov Aug. 21, 2025, 5:01 a.m.

Shelly Finkel commented on the rumors that appeared on the internet about the alleged negotiations for a boxing match between Deontay Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KO) and Francis Ngannou (0-2, 0 KO) in an interview with World Boxing News.

"Deontay Wilder will not meet Francis Ngannou in 2026. This fight will not take place in 2026," said the manager of the "Bronze Bomber".

Deontay Wilder last boxed in June, achieving a not very successful victory over mediocre Tyrrell Hernon. Previously, he suffered two defeats - from Joseph Parker and Zhang Zhilei.
