From the Octagon to the boxing ring, it seems like ‘The Predator’ just wants to hunt! Francis Ngannou has made headlines with his departure from UFC this January. Afterward, the heavyweight powerhouse signed a monumental deal with PFL that surprised the entire fighting community. His deal with PFL not only guarantees him a staggering seven-figure purse per fight but also opens the doors for his boxing aspirations.

Recently, Ngannou has been exchanging some social media jabs with heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury. Seeing this, fans have been salivating at the prospect of a colossal showdown between two heavyweight giants. However, it seems like Ngannou might have just snubbed the ‘Gypsy King’ in favor of stepping into the ring with Fury’s arch-rival, Deontay Wilder.

In a recent interview with ‘The Schmo’, the Cameroonian fighter revealed some intriguing details about his potential boxing fight. Firstly, Schmo asked Ngannou about Wilder’s recent PFL appearance. Replying to this, Ngannou stated that he had no idea about it. However, he did mention that their fight is indeed on the horizon. This news comes days after fans got a confirmation from Wilder‘s side.

According to Ngannou, his discussions with ‘Bronze Bomber’ are underway, and a potential two-fight deal is in the works. Holding off on other opportunities, Ngannou intends to let Wilder finish his business in December before stepping into the ring against him.

When Deontay Wilder made a fierce offer to Ngannou

Fans have heard MMA fighters step into the boxing ring, but it is rarely the other way around. However, Deontay Wilder is willing to step into an MMA cage and fight by its rules. Appearing in an interview with ‘Trill Boxing Talk’, Wilder hinted at the possibility of having a two-fight deal with Ngannou. In this deal, one fight would be under boxing rules, and the other would be under MMA rules.

“I even thought about this idea. Let’s make it a two-fight deal. Everybody always comes to boxing… You come to my house, I’ll come to yours… I’m serious about that too.”

Some fans might have dismissed Wilder’s statement as just unrealistic, but with Francis Ngannou’s latest statement, it seems like the fans might get to see this epic showdown!
