Ngannou Names Potential Opponents – Wilder and Klitschko on the List

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou revealed some of the opponents he could face in his next boxing bout.

"I don’t know if I’ll get a rematch with Fury, but I hope so. I never expected to win that fight on points. That didn’t surprise me. I was upset, and people debated it. But that’s how this sport works.

I don’t think it would be fair if the same people organized another fight with Joshua. The same thing could happen again. Would it be fair? Would anything change in a rematch? Can they guarantee that? This is a dirty game.

I spent over four hours in the locker room. Now, looking back, I’m thinking, ‘What the hell was that?’ I’ve never seen anything like it. But it was done deliberately.

I arrived at the arena around 11 PM, and the producer told me the fight would be at 1 AM. But Anthony arrived at 1 AM. If we were supposed to fight at 1, he should have been there at the same time as me—we’re fighting together.

A fight against Rico Verhoeven? Maybe, but I don’t know. I still have a few fights left. I’m focused on them, not on options. There are many options.

Rico is an option. Chisora is an option. Wladimir Klitschko could also be an option for a fight," Ngannou stated.

Ngannou is currently the PFL heavyweight champion after knocking out Renan Ferreira. In his last boxing match, he lost by knockout to Anthony Joshua.
