Former WBO heavyweight champion, Shannon Briggs has vowed to snap his retirement from professional boxing since 2016 in the form of a future fight with recent sport debutante and former UFC heavyweight kingpin, Francis Ngannou, vowing to knock the Batié native out cold.
Briggs, who turns 52 years of age next month, has been sidelined from professional boxing since landing a first round knockout win over Emilio Zarate in London, England, improving his record to 60-6-1(1) as a professional.
As for Ngannou, the former mixed martial arts heavyweight champion, made his professional boxing debut back in October of this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, landing a stunning third round knockdown, albeit in a close, controversial split decision loss to unbeaten incumbent WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury.
