The Cameroonian heavyweight sensation, known as 'The Predator', is gearing up for another venture into the boxing world. After returning to mixed martial arts (MMA) in October, Ngannou secured a first-round TKO victory over Renan Ferreira at the PFL's 'Battle of the Giants' event in Saudi Arabia. This win marked his comeback to MMA following two notable defeats in boxing against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Despite this setback in boxing, Ngannou remains undeterred and has expressed his eagerness to secure his first triumph in the squared circle.

Ngannou's next move will see him back in the boxing ring, where he aims to challenge one of the sport's most formidable punchers. In an interview with Sportsbook Review, he confirmed his intention to face Deontay Wilder, stating that there is an 80 percent chance that one of them will be knocked out. "It will be either me or him," Ngannou explained, emphasizing the mutual desire to prove who hits harder. The former WBC champion Wilder has also shown interest in this matchup, expressing openness to the idea multiple times. Both fighters possess reputations for their powerful strikes, making this potential bout highly anticipated by fans.

Negotiations are underway to make this clash a reality. PFL president Donn Davis has indicated that Ngannou is expected to compete twice in 2025, once in boxing and once in MMA. Various formats are being considered, including mixed rules or alternating rounds, to ensure the fight is both exciting and legitimate. This upcoming showdown not only highlights the determination and versatility of Ngannou but also underscores the universal appeal of cross-sport challenges. Such matches inspire athletes to push beyond traditional boundaries and showcase their skills in new arenas, fostering innovation and excitement in the world of combat sports.
