‘Bon Gamin’ will now face Francis Ngannou next with the undisputed heavyweight title on the line. This is an intriguing prospect for fight fans as two completely different styles of fighters will fight for the belt.

Gane, on the other hand, breaks his opponents down in a systematic approach. He overwhelms them with his technique rather than swinging for the fences. That being said, the Frenchman absolutely can knock anybody out. So, he is a unique challenge for anyone, even ‘The Predator’.
The fight will be a magnificent spectacle for the fans, to say the least. Whether a cautious Ngannou is good enough to keep Gane at bay and land one of his bombs remains to be seen. Nevertheless, whoever wins the fight will be the undisputed best heavyweight on the planet.
