Francis Ngannou has set his sights on the boxing ring.
After signing with the PFL, Ngannou’s next top goal is to challenge the world’s top heavyweights.
There is mutual interest from both Ngannou and Deontay Wilder, making for an explosive potential matchup. One notable figure endorsing Ngannou’s chances is Tom Aspinall.
Aspinall, renowned for his own striking ability, is excited about the prospect of Ngannou facing Wilder.
Both fighters possess immense power and could literally punch holes through walls. Aspinall’s anticipation for this potential clash is undeniable.
“I would love to see him against Wilder because it’s just two f—ing massive guys who can punch holes through walls. It’s ridiculous. I’d love to see that,” Aspinall
While Wilder is widely regarded as one of the hardest punchers in boxing history, Aspinall believes Ngannou has a real shot at victory.
Aspinall acknowledges Wilder’s incredible punching power but points out that his boxing skills may be lacking compared to elite boxers like Oleksandr Usyk or Tyson Fury.
“The guy’s punching power is off the charts, absolutely ridiculous, out of this world. But I think he’s quite hittable, and his fight IQ doesn’t seem to be great. I think if there’s anyone Ngannou could beat, it would be Wilder,” Aspinall stated
As fans eagerly await confirmation of this potential showdown, the buzz surrounding Ngannou’s transition to boxing continues to grow.
