Daniel Cormier: After showing vs. Tyson Fury, Francis Ngannou can box Deontay Wilder and ‘nobody would bat an eyelid’

Daniel Cormier thinks Francis Ngannou has endless possibilities in boxing after his impressive performance against Tyson Fury.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou lost a close split decision to Fury in their crossover boxing match Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Not only did Ngannou push Fury to the brink, but he knocked him down in a fight many people thought he won.

Although Cormier scored the fight in Fury’s favor, he commended Ngannou for proving doubters wrong and going toe-to-toe with the WBC champion. He thinks Ngannou’s stock rose so much that no one would have an issue if he was matched up against someone like Deontay Wilder next.
