Media Deontay Wilder is open to a 2026 fight with Francis Ngannou.

[Dr. Rose]

The only way this fight happens is in BKFC. IT will end with a double KO.

 

[shunyata]

This fight could go either way.

It would be a banger.

Franci$ is not a draw, and neither is current day Wilder

All the more reason.

Good God man.

Yes!

Bareknuckle deserves Francis.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

If Francis has a decent trainer and watches the parker fight he can sure as hell win. He is flat out a more technical boxer and better then wilder. He just needs to duck his head when wilder does his right punch bum rush. He should be able to grapple and man handle him. Thats what happened in the fury fight. Tyson could pull any of those big man wrestle tactics with Francis and really had a hard time.

Just needs to play some Punch Out to get the timing

The year 2025 in its entirety for 38 year old Francis Ngannou:

Gotta get that bag while the gettings good!!

See above.


.. his last boxing match sold THOUSANDS of ppvs!!!

 

[CobraCobretti]

Cool, so maybe PFL return in 2027 for Big Frank?

 

[Pompey Junglist]

I actually think Ngannou ko's Wilder.
Would never normally pick an mma guy to beat a boxer in boxing, but I believe Wilder is absolutely washed at this point. Was always lacking in skills and was never the biggest HW.

Come at me bro's!!! Lol

It's not an unreasonable take. I watched Wilder go 12 rounds against Joseph Parker whilst barely throwing a punch. He is both seriously washed and unmotivated, it seems.

He let His hands go against Zhang

No need for "current day". Wilder has never been a draw.

 

[Elvis.]

Sure what the hell , at least we know someone is getting dropped

 

[YourBoss]

Not gonna lie Ngannou nukes Wilder into another dimension. The real Wilder is long gone. In his prime Wilder easily koes Ngannou.

 

[Clark Rogers]

I guess if Francis keeps fighting down the rankings he'll eventually win one.. maybe.

 

[ezikel315]

A sloppy slug fest with both guys scoring knock downs until one gets stopped lol. The casuals would enjoy this.

 

[Naoya#1]

Two overrated bums and once again confirming how dumb combat fans are.

At least Wilders career was a bit more interesting because he often weighed 40–70 lbs less than his opponents, had the boxing skills of a high school wrestler, and was one of the few punchers with big balls.

Even waterpolo has more to offer than the n3w era of HW bums. Ignoring Usyk sinces hes the only good thing it has to offer.

 

[USCinSC890]

Ngannou is basically retired from MMA now? Wilder is as washed up as can be. His last fight is the proof of that against an inferior opponent and he still managed to look bad. Maybe it's a decent gambling opportunity if casuals feel like present day Wilder is a big favorite.

 

[SuperLuigi]

It would be fun.

 

[ryanrandy]

Unless ngannou is completely chinny now then yeah. Wilder does not hit harder than joshua. He didnt even stop zhang in his tracks.

Joshua is better but absolutely does not hit harder than Wilder. Wilder is washed now but his right hand is more powerful than anything Joshua has.

 

[Blastbeat]

He let His hands go against Zhang

yeah and it took like 3 1/2 rounds for Wilder to start throwing. before than Zhang was backing him up and bullying him.
then once he did start throwing Zhang figured him out real quick and knocked him out
Ngannou is a pretty big dude. not as big as Zhang but we've seen that Wilder doesnt like being pushed around by someone bigger than him. 5 years ago i wouldnt even think i would say this, but i think Ngannou could possibly TKO Wilder
