Francis won his last fight in the octagon against Cyril Gane. Ngannou had to vacate his heavyweight title as his disputed contract with the UFC expired in December and since then he has been in search of other opportunities and avenues to fight. ‘The Predator ‘ called out Tyson Fury for a fight and Fury agreed but with some terms set by him. However, even if the fight gets signed, it will take some time for it to come to fruition.

Francis has been eyeing a bout in the ring for a while now and Wilder might just have the perfect offer for him. The hardest puncher in the world is yet to reply to Wilder’s offer.
