Ngannou had always been interested in boxing and was well-known for his amazing punching power in the UFC.

In October 2023, he made his ring debut against Tyson Fury. Ngannou shocked many by putting on an excellent performance and even taking down Fury in this highly publicized bout.

Following a contentious split decision loss to Fury, the Cameroonian then lost to Anthony Joshua via second-round knockout in March of last year.

According to Scott, Ngannou is the right opponent for Wilder to make a comeback.
