For his part, Deontay Wilder, in a video on The Mac Life, spoke about the chance he had to train with the UFC champion at the UFC Apex:
“Yes, of course, I have already met Francis Ngannou. He’s been to this area before, to this gymnasium. Him and I, we trained together, and we like each other. »
Deontay Wilder will fight against Robert Helenius on October 15 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. He’ll be trying to get back into the winner’s column after back-to-back losses to Tyson Fury. He hasn’t fought in a year.
Asked about the possibility of facing Ngannou, Deontay Wilder is not against it and does not rule it out:
“Of course, maybe one day, who knows, the future is bright. October 15 is the date we are most focused on. But hey man, a lot of things are going on for the future.”
