Dillian Whyte is throwing his hat in the ring, volunteering to be former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou’s first opponent in his boxing career that he’s about to start.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou isn’t interested in working his way into big fights in boxing because he feels he deserves to fight either WBC champion Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua immediately in his pro debut in the sport.
MMA star Francis Ngannou’s next move is the subject of a good deal of speculation. Former UFC heavyweight champ Ngannou, who turned down what Dana White described as an offer that was so lucrative it would have made the 36 year old “the highest-paid heavyweight in the history of the company,” did not renew his UFC contract and he is now a free agent.
