Deontay Wilder is a popular name in the boxing world. The former WBC heavyweight champion won his last bout against the likes of Robert Helenius via a first-round knockout. In these times of cross-sports montage, Wilder wants to be a part of it. Deontay has shown his interest in fighting Francis Ngannou and has made him an offer that seems too good to be refused.

In a recent interview, Deontay announced a shocking proposition for Francis Ngannou, and nobody saw that coming. Wilder’s offer to Ngannou is courageous and has the potential to materialize in the future.

In a recent interview with the Trill Boxing talk, Wilder made an offer for a fight to Ngannou. A recent Instagram post by ‘The Mac Life‘, gave away the crux of the offer made by ‘The Bronze Bomber’. “I even thought about this idea. Let’s make it a two-fight deal. Everybody always comes to boxing… You come to my house, I’ll come to yours… I’m serious about that too,” said Deontay.
Wilder offered to fight ‘The Predator’ twice; The first fight to be a boxing match, and the second to be in an MMA setting. Wilder also acknowledged that he has no MMA experience as of now, but is willing to start training if the Ngannou accepts the deal.
Francis won his last fight in the octagon against Cyril Gane. Ngannou had to vacate his heavyweight title as his disputed contract with the UFC expired in December and since then he has been in search of other opportunities and avenues to fight. ‘The Predator ‘ called out Tyson Fury for a fight and Fury agreed but with some terms set by him. However, even if the fight gets signed, it will take some time for it to come to fruition.
Francis has been eyeing a bout in the ring for a while now and Wilder might just have the perfect offer for him. The hardest puncher in the world is yet to reply to Wilder’s offer.
