UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, who is focused on playing against WBC heavyweight tyson Fury and Deonay Wiler, wants to challenge the world's best boxers to prove himself.
Nagaano dominates the UFC with a heavy punch, and he has proven this many times in the octagonal cage. Since losing to Derek Lewis in the 2018 UFC 226 tournament, Nagano has been ko-won for 5 consecutive times, and has been unstoppable all the way.
"I've been looking forward to boxing matches." Nagano told TMZ: "You know, I'm determined to play boxing, and it's going to happen anyway. Even if I stay at the UFC, when the UFC and I finalize a deal, the boxing part has to be among them because I can't see myself retiring without boxing. “
When it comes to boxing, Nagano doesn't want to fight some mediocre people, and he sets his sights on the top heavyweights to test his strength.
"Tyson Fury and Wilder, I want to test myself if I'm up to their level. It's not the same position, and while I'm a champion, I'm also the top of the MMA. “
Generally speaking, MMA players fight for money, and one of the main reasons is for money. For Nagano, however, when it comes to boxing, he doesn't want to focus on money. Instead, he was primarily there to improve his level.
"At the end of the day, it's just to strengthen the boxing, and I believe that if I play my boxing well, I will cause them some damage." Nagano added.
