Joe Joyce is keen to fight UFC star Francis Ngannou after the Cameroon star showed "freak" power during a sparring session.
Ngannou is out of action after suffering torn knee ligaments before his successful UFC title defence against Cyril Gane in January. He is also embroiled in a contract dispute with the promotion, and is eagerly trying to place a clause in any new deal which allows him to negotiate lucrative boxing fights.
There are several opponents the Cameroon native has been linked to since suggesting he would fight in the squared circle, including champion Tyson Fury. However 'The Juggernaut' has thrown his name into the mix, but is not willing to fight in any mixed-rules contest.
