While Nobody has officially been named as his first opponent, gossip in the sport has stated that Tyson Fury the Heavyweight King of Boxing might actually be an opponent.
Speaking to Boxing Social and shared by Oscar Willis,“Eddie Hearn on Fury vs. Ngannou next: ‘This is what I’ve heard. It’ll be an exhibition apparently. No knockdowns or anything. I’m only telling you what I’ve heard, who knows what’s what, but I think that is apparently what is going to be the next fight.'” While Eddie Hearn is the head of Matchroom Boxing it would appear he would have a beat on the pulse of the gossip.
Francis Ngannou stated he wanted the ability to Box outside of his UFC contract amongst other things before ultimately leaving the UFC as undisputed Heavyweight World Champion before a bout against Jon Jones could materialize.
