Dillian Whyte offers to fight Francis Ngannou in unique two-fight cross-sport deal
It is unclear exactly what Ngannou’s next move will be.“I would love to fight him,” Whyte told “It would be a very interesting fight, because we both have got a martial arts background and he’s up for jumping in at the deep end, fighting someone like me. It would get lots of interest and eyeballs.
“Fans around the world would be keen to see it, because he is a former UFC champion coming to face a top heavyweight like me.”Anthony Joshua and Tyson FuryDespite this, Whyte has thrown his hat into the ring with a special proposal which AJ and Fury likely cannot match.“It would be good becoming a champion across two sports – something I wanted to do as well – so I can understand him having a massive drive to do something like that.
“A lot of these boxing guys pick on these MMA and martial arts guys and beat them up in a boxing ring, but they are not brave enough to get in the cage.“It is much easier to knock people out with 4oz gloves that have next to no padding.
