Deontay Wilder has renewed his push for a two-fight deal with Francis Ngannou, telling the MMA star he'll head to the MMA cage after the pair box.
Interestingly, Ngannou has previously said that he would rather keep the deal to the ring without a rematch in the smart cage while it has always been the boxer pushing for the two-fight deal. And in his efforts to make the deal a reality, Wilder took an extra step last weekend by travelling to Atlanta for the first night of PFL's three-week residency at the OTE Arena.
He watched the fights from cageside and met with fans at the event headlined by Brit Brendan Loughnane. But perhaps the most interesting part of his trip was the chance he took to try on the sport's 4oz gloves, which provide less than half the padding of his usual 10oz boxing glove.
