Francis Ngannou calls out Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder
The reigning UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou called out ‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ amid contractual disagreements with the UFC. “It’s always been down the line. This is something I’m not taking my eyes off of.”
“It’s gonna happen, either way. Even if, when the UFC and I finalize a deal, the boxing part has to be into it because I can’t see myself retire without boxing,” Ngannou said.
