Deontay Wilder: Edo Man snubs Anthony Joshua, wants Francis Ngannou next

Francis Ngannou is the next opponent Deontay Wilder is willing to take on.

After suffering arm and shoulder injuries in back-to-back defeats to Joseph Parker and, most recently, Zhilei Zhang via TKO in June, Wilder is currently recovering.

"The Bronze Bomber" treated a possible bout with nothing but respect, since PFL heavyweight superfights champion Ngannou has previously pushed for a bout against Wilder.

Ngannou has had two very distinct boxing appearances with mixed results.

Anthony Joshua defeated "The Predator" in a Round 2 knockout defeat in March after he had knocked down and nearly defeated Tyson Fury in a contentious decision loss in October 2023.

However, Wilder isn't discounting Ngannou as a competitor in spite of his heartbreaking defeat to Joshua.

Wilder was rumored to have a return against a lower ranked opponent but was not unable to make it happen.

Ngannou on the other hand recently celebrated Easter in Cameroon with a hint of returning to the ring soon.
