Deontay Wilder Expresses Interest in Crossover Fight
Deontay Wilder, the heavyweight knockout artist, has shown interest in a potential crossover fight with Francis Ngannou. The Professional Fighters League (PFL) co-founder, Donn Davis, has expressed interest in booking a ‘mixed rules’ bout between the two fighters. This comes after Ngannou’s impressive performance against Tyson Fury in a recent boxing match.
Wilder, however, has stated that he needs more information about the proposed mixed rules. He is open to fighting in the cage but wants to understand the distribution of these rules. He questions what exactly is meant by ‘mixed rules’ and what can and can’t be done in the fight.
Having previously shared the ring with Fury in a memorable three-fight rivalry, Wilder is no stranger to high-profile matchups. He is currently scheduled to face Joseph Parker on December 23 in Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, Ngannou’s next fight and the combat sport he will participate in are still undecided.
The idea of Ngannou welcoming Wilder to an MMA cage has sparked intrigue among the combat fan base. However, there are still many details that need to be worked out. Wilder acknowledges the challenges of combining the rules of boxing and mixed martial arts, stating that it can be frustrating and confusing. Nevertheless, he is open to change and willing to consider the proposal once both parties have a clear understanding of the rules.
