JAKARTA Former WBC heavyweight title holder Deontay Wilder is included in the next list of potential opponents of former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou.
This information was conveyed by Wilder's head coach, Malik Scott. The coach admitted that talks for the fight plan had already been held.
"He [France Ngannou] is the choice [to fight Deontay Wilder]. We will see where it goes. Yes, of course," Scott said as quoted by Talk Sport.
Ngannou is now starting to be reckoned with in the boxing world after losing against class boxer and belt holder Tyson Fury on Sunday, October 29, 2023 morning WIB.
The fight against Fury was the debut for the former UFC heavyweight champion. Despite losing through a split decision, many people think they deserve to win.
After fighting Fury's fight, Ngannou began to be eyed by almost all fighters in the heavyweight division. However, Scott claims that Wilder has already had talks with 'The Predator'.
"We have communicated it. I personally believe he is willing [to] run a good business. I've spoken to Deontay about it," Scott said.
Scott said Ngannou was very dangerous even though he did not have a long history of boxing fights.
"In my opinion, he is very dangerous. He is a fight that is at high risk for anyone. I believe with a large body size, he will be in the right position to be beaten by Deontay," he said.
Wilder is currently on the plan to fight Anthony Joshua. This second fighter both won over Robert Helenius in their last fight.
Joshua won over Helenius last August, while Wilder won in October 2022.
