Deontay Wilder is open to sharing the ring with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover boxing match.
The pair have met each other while training at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, being shown in one behind-the-scenes video embracing after Ngannou watched from ringside as Wilder went through a workout. The UFC star is currently nursing an injury and working through a difficult negotiation with the promotion over his contract, which he wants to allow him to box at least once.
And he has previously indicated he would like to face either Wilder or the one man to defeat him in his professional career; Tyson Fury. Ngannou vs Fury would pit the heavyweight champions of boxing and UFC against one another which would be a bigger fight, but Wilder is one of the heaviest punchers of all time, similar to the Cameroonian in MMA.
