UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier has reservations about Francis Ngannou who entertains a boxing match with Deontay Wilder.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou has a boxing match with Deontay Wilder on his radar for later this year. But another former UFC heavyweight title holder believes that it is not a smart chase after the triumphant return from Ngannou to MMA.
Ngannou finished Renan Ferreira in one round in his long-awaited PFL debut last October. The victory came almost three full years since what his UFC final was against Ciryl Gane on UFC 270.
After losing Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the boxing ring, NGannou continues to be achieved after winning his first professional victory and pleading for controversial attacks. In the meantime, a collision with Wilder is a strong opportunity, because the matchup has been thrown around in MMA and Boxcirkels in recent years.

Daniel Cormier puts the opportunities of Francis Ngannou against Deontay Wilder.
In a recent video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel, Cormier explained what makes him nervous about Ngannou opposite Wilder.
'Of course, he is going to earn a load of the money, he always does that, but at what point are you going [I don’t know] Because if you ask me, it seems that he is against it again. Perhaps he is just the biggest, worst man on the planet we all believe and he doesn't care that he is against it and he wants to prove very close fight, “Cormier said about Ngannou. “But we can't ignore the visuals of what we saw the last time, especially when he returned to MMA and moisture so well …
'People do not hurt Francis Ngannou, but then it in the [Anthony Joshua] Vecht, he looked lost, “Cormier explained. “That is for me. Because I know that there will be moments in that fight with Deontay Wilder as he hits where he should find safety. (H/T MMA Fighting)

In addition to his boxing ambitions, Ngannou remains interested in possibly confronted with Jon Jones in a cross-promotional competition. But UFC CEO Dana White, according to Ngannou, is a major obstacle to making the heavyweight super fight to bloom.
Ngannou and Jones were expected to collide in 2021 after Ngannou had conquered the UFC heavyweight title by eliminating Stipe Miocic at UFC 260. But the Jones Fight negotiations eventually fell apart, and despite the fact that he initially With Ngannou has been taken with Ngannou, White gives him the finish line for the Jones Fight Not Reachs -Fight Not Reach Not Reachs.
