“I Would Knockout Francis Ngannou”- Dillian Whyte Teases UFC Debut
The World Boxing Council interim champion Dillian Whyte has proved himself to be one of the greatest heavyweights in the business. And now the British fighter is looking to test the waters in the UFC.
The only loss Whyte ever faced came against Anthony Joshua way back in 2015. Whyte boasts of a record of 25 wins in 26 fights. He claimed 18 of those victories by way of knockouts and the remaining 7 via decision.
The 31-year-old fighter has made a very public appeal to UFC President Dana White. He wants White to get in touch with him regarding a potential crossover bout.

However, when asked whether he was serious about stepping into the world of MMA Whyte’s demeanor changed. But he is seemingly interested in giving MMA a go.
