‘He can give people trouble’: Insider weighs In on Francis Ngannou’s potential as a heavyweight boxer

Amid links to a potential third trip to the squared circle in the new year, Francis Ngannou has been touted as a potential threat to other heavyweight talents in the ring, according to Otto Wallin — who has fought common-foes, Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua in the past.

Ngannou, a former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, made his debut under the PFL (Professional Fighters League) banner back in October, winning a super fight title in a dominant opening round ground strikes TKO win over Brazilian contender, Renan Ferreira.
