Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott has revealed that Francis Ngannou is an option for ‘The Bronze Bomber’s’ next fight.
Francis Ngannou has well and truly put himself in the heavyweight picture following his impressive debut against Tyson Fury.
And he is certainly a man with many options, including a fight with Deontay Wilder.
Speaking to Fight Hype, Scott said:
“We’re already in communications about it.
“He’s an option now, and we’re going to see where things go. Yeah, absolutely.”
“Me personally, I believe he’s willing to do good business.”
“I talked to Deontay about it. I believe he’s right there to be hit by Deontay. He’s mature and poised, and for a guy with no professional fights as a boxer, he’s still big and strong.
“In my opinion, he’s very dangerous. He’s a high-risk fight for anybody. I believe him being that big, it puts him in line to be hit by Deontay with a bomb.
“We’ll write it up to get him out of there if the opportunity comes.”
Wilder last fought when he obliterated Robert Helenius in the first round of their contest just over a year ago.
Who would you pick to win between ‘The Bronzebomber’ or Ngannou?
