Follow Us
Francis Ngannou has been going back-and-forth over the possibility of a boxing match in the future. Since he already has thunderous power in his hands, experts suggest he will have to work on his control a little bit. However, young and exciting lightweight champ Ryan Garcia thinks Nagnnou is already more skilled than former WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder.
The WBC Silver lightweight champ Garcia had a sort of a training session with Ngannou a while back. ‘The Flash’ experienced the strength of Ngannou first hand. Just like Garcia’s speed is a spectacle to watch, so is Ngannou’s power. Garcia was particularly impressed after watching the last fight of the Cameroonian heavyweight against Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

“I seen his fight and I was like this dude is the craziest person in the world. Like he just came up and knocked that dude out. That was nasty. And that guy was talking a big game too the other guy. He was like he ain’t gonna beat me. Whatever. When I met Francis I was like this dude is like Superman. This dude is huge,” Ryan Garcia said while talking to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani.
