Deontay Wilder says he is not ruling out a potential fight with Francis Ngannou in the boxing ring. The former WBC heavyweight champion was backstage at the PFL 4 event, where Ngannou was in attendance, prompting speculation that the promotion is trying to arrange a fight.

Wilder, who is set to fight Anthony Joshua towards the end of this year, appears open to the idea of boxing Ngannou in exchange for an MMA fight. He confirmed that discussions have taken place between the two camps and that anything could happen. Ngannou, who has expressed a desire to box, is set to make his PFL debut in 2024 after his professional boxing debut.
