Ngannou, on the other hand, is touted to be the hardest-hitting heavyweight in all of combat sports.

Ngannou, who is now recuperating from a knee surgery due to an ACL tear, will take months before resuming his training. Hence, this fight will probably happen at the end of 2022 or at the start of 2023.
