Deontay Wilder vs Francis Ngannou: Bronze Bomber Wants Fair Fight | thefightfanatic.com

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder has expressed his strong desire to face Francis Ngannou in the ring. “The Bronze Bomber” is not one to shy away from a challenge, as he is prepared to take on Ngannou in both boxing and MMA.

Speaking to Lucky Block, Wilder admitted that he was first in line to fight Ngannou before the Fury fight fell into place:

“Me and Francis were supposed to fight first [before Fury] but because of different circumstances it didn’t happen, but it’s cool because it was better for him to go and participate in a boxing match.

“It’s made it bigger and better for him because he’s made a name for himself in boxing to the point it’s getting people excited about a fight with the likes of me.”
