Francis Ngannou wants boxing showdown with Deontay Wilder
Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou has made it crystal clear that he’s interested in squaring off with Deontay Wilder in a boxing match.
Throughout the course of his career, Francis Ngannou hasn’t been afraid to do his own thing. The Predator’ is an incredible mixed martial artist and after leaving the UFC, he made the decision to mix things up. In addition to signing with PFL, he also decided to test the waters in the world of professional boxing.
It’s safe to say that Francis Ngannou dove in at the deep end. He has had two professional bouts, taking on Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. While he lost both, he was able to drop Fury in their fight – with some still believing that he did enough to pick up the win.
Now, Francis Ngannou looks set to pursue another ambitious venture in the form of a collision with knockout artist Deontay Wilder.

“It’s time to finally settle the debate. @bronzebomber”
These two men are perhaps the biggest power punchers in the history of their respective sports. That’s certainly up for debate, but they’re definitely in the conversation. As we look ahead to what the future holds for both, this is the kind of fight that would generate a lot of interest.
Wilder isn’t the same as he once was, whereas Ngannou’s next move has been discussed by many – especially after his recent disagreements with PFL.
Francis has always been a guy who knows how to market himself and knows how to grow his own brand and if this opportunity presents itself, there’s no doubt in our mind that he would take this fight with both hands.
Buckle up, folks, because we could be in for another bizarre yet fascinating heavyweight bout involving Ngannou.
