The ‘hardest-hitting’ fighter in UFC history, Francis ‘The Predator’ Ngannou has recently made it to the news after he stepped down from UFC and showed a willingness to box Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua as his next. However, a new post from British professional boxer Dillian Whyte about Ngannou has excited fans to cheer even more.

Meanwhile, Michael Benson posted, “Dillian Whyte has offered to fight Francis Ngannou in a two-fight boxing/MMA deal: “A lot of these boxing guys pick on MMA guys and beat them up in a boxing ring, but they are not brave enough to get in the cage. I’d happily fight him in boxing and the cage as well.”

On the same note, Dillian Whyte spoke to Sky Sports more on the same issue, “Fans around the world would be keen to see it, because he is a former UFC champion coming to face a top heavyweight like me.”
However, he praised Ngannou and said, “Obviously he’s a good fighter, he’s strong, but there are a lot of holes in his game. He is throwing from far away, he is a slugger. In MMA, that style runs, because you have small gloves and you just need to connect anywhere with someone to do damage.”
Fans are keen to see the two giants in the ring
Fans are anticipating the fight with great excitement, as it will be a chance to see two of the greatest fighters in the sport go head-to-head. They are speculating on how the fight will play out and who will come out on top.

This is probably the best move. Whyte is pretty washed recently but his name still holds some importance, so if Ngannou beats Whyte, it brings him closer to that Fury or AJ fight lol

This will be massive! I hope this fight happens. Two absolute savages going at it in the ring and in the cage would be insane.

Dillian Whyte is also a former MMA fighter and came to boxing just like Ngannou may do now. Once he finished a fight within 12 seconds.
