Just saw the Teddy Atlas training video on YouTube with Francis Ngannou. He looks scarier than ever and is polishing his game.
Maybe for charity? Both men have charities of their own. They both are clearly up for raising money and in this time the need for super fight money could be greatly used to help many causes. An exhibition isnt out of the question today. Especially for charity will Dana White let it happen or be known as the guy that said hell no to raising money to a good cause? Probably, but anyway...
After looking into it further I hear its going to be more than just a one time thing since Francis wants Atlas to train him. That being said...Francis wants to step into boxing depending on his future as a UFC contender/championship opportunity...So what other fight is more exciting than Deontay Wilder vs Francis Ngannou?
I seen the threads made about this before (many are pre-Wilder/Fury 2) and I was never intrigued and believed Wilder would win handily like many others. Now that I see Francis is really picking up the pure fundamentals of boxing he lacked before I feel his chances against Wilder are so much better. Granted Wilder is a former bronze medalist he still hasn't evolved as a pure boxer. He just looks to throw the bomb.
If Wilder loses the trilogy with Fury which I totally feel he will, and Francis steps into the boxing ring like he wants to...
Wilder may take the fight with Francis Ngannou. It definitely would be a money maker in terms of UFC fans watching along with boxing fans.
