Former UFC heavyweight kingpin Francis Ngannou has set his sights on a boxing showdown with Deontay Wilder, promising a fight with dire consequences for one of them.

Ngannou’s recent departure from the UFC due to a contractual impasse has fueled his desire to enter the boxing ring. He wasted no time naming Wilder, a former WBC heavyweight champion known for his thunderous knockout power, as his ideal opponent.

Wilder himself is coming off two defeats to Tyson Fury, but his reputation as a knockout artist remains unchallenged. A fight between these two titans would be a clash of raw power and athleticism, with a knockout a near certainty.

Whether this dream matchup becomes reality remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: fight fans around the world would be eager to witness this heavyweight spectacle.
