Dillian Whyte Details Unaired Press Conference With Francis Ngannou: ‘He Was Terrified of Actually Fighting Me’

WBC Interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte has breathed life into a potential clash with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. ‘The Body Snatcher’ claimed that he intimidated Francis Ngannou when they faced off at a press conference in the past.

Just a few weeks after his KO win over Alexander Povetkin at ‘Rumble on the Rock’ ‘The Body Snatcher’ connected with Sky Sports and revealed some insights into his interaction with ‘The Predator’.

Dillian Whyte said, “I’ve already beaten him outside the ring when we recorded a head to head last year.”

“He’s very fragile. He calls himself ‘The Predator’ but he should be called ‘The Pacifier’ because he’s a real dummy and a cry baby.”

‘The Body Snatcher,’ added. “Afterwards he ran to his boss Dana White, pleading to get it pulled. He was terrified of actually fighting me after he had a meltdown on air. Pathetic.”

Francis Ngannou’s power can be terrific and treacherous to absorb. Akin to Whyte, UFC’s heavyweight star Jairzinho Rozenstruik had aimed to vanquish the Cameroonian MMA fighter in a collision.

In response, Ngannou knocked out ‘Bigi Boy’ in 20 seconds. Hence, Dillian Whyte needs to be prepared to back up his words.

Dillian Whyte vs Francis Ngannou- How did the matchup come up?

Following Francis Ngannou’s sensational KO over Stipe Miocic for the UFC gold at UFC 260, he attained a lot of attention from the boxing community. Furthermore, the UFC champion also expressed his desire to enter the boxing ring. It garnered several responses from the elite boxers.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury vowed to dominate Ngannou if they ever boxed in the squared circle. However, he is scheduled to fight the unified champion, Anthony Joshua, in an undisputed clash.

As a result, Whyte (WBC mandatory) will be free for a boxing bout, but the same can’t be said for ‘The Predator’ who may defend his belt against Derrick Lewis.
