LAS VEGAS – Several high-profile boxers have been linked to former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, but Eric Nicksick says one stands out more than the others.
Ngannou parted ways with the UFC in January and appears to be gearing up for his long-desired boxing debut as his next move.
Tyson Fury expressed interest in welcoming Ngannou to the boxing world, but the WBC champion is currently linked to a fight with IBF, WBA and WBO title holder Oleksandr Usyk. Another standout name who’s down to box Ngannou is former longtime WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder, and Nicksick, Ngannou’s coach at Xtreme Couture, likes that idea a lot.
