With four defeats in his last five fights, two against Tyson Fury in 2020 and 2021, against Joseph Parker in 2023, and in his last appearance, he was knocked out in the fifth round by Zhilei Zhang. His only victory on this blacklist was over Finland’s Robert Helenius.
According to a talk that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ had with TMZ Sports, he is ready to start negotiations to get into the ring against ‘The Predator’, who is a successful mixed martial arts fighter, but has lost in his two fights as a boxer, both in Saudi Arabia, first he fell by decision to Tyson Fury, with the honor of sending him to the canvas in the third round, and then lost to Anthony Joshua by knockout in the second round.
Ngannou has already acknowledged that he expects to fight Wilder, who in turn wants to get in touch with the Cameroonian’s team as soon as possible in what will be a fight between two giants over 1.90m.
Deontay Wilder is ready to return
Wilder took advantage of the break to recover and said in the interview that he discovered that “everything was fucked” with his shoulder, plus he has corrected some pieces in his staff and eliminated toxic people, so he concluded that “the best is yet to come”, while Ngannou shares the frustration of also having been knocked out in his last fight, in the loss to Joshua.
Deontay expressed his respect for Ngannou, and sent him a message of condolence for the recent death of his young son.
