Deontay Wilder offers Francis Ngannou two-fight deal including MMA bout

Deontay Wilder has offered Francis Ngannou a two-fight deal in which he would make his MMA debut against the UFC heavyweight champion after the pair fight in a boxing ring.

The former heavyweight champion is one of the few names on Ngannou's hitlist for his first boxing fight after leaving the UFC earlier this year having never lost his world title belt. He is also keen to face Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury, but has also mentioned Wilder as a prospective opponent.

The hard-hitting duo are two of the biggest punchers in combat sports, with the American having knocked out all but one of his opponents; Fury. And even during his trilogy with the Brit, to whom he lost twice after initially drawing, he put him down multiple times and almost landed a finish.
