Ten rounds while wondering if more than a hundred people will buy Don King’s heavyweight fight card this weekend …
10. Francis Ngannou wants to box. That’s the message Ngannou, the ex-UFC heavyweight champion delivered in an interview with Ariel Helwani this week. At 6’4”, 260-pounds Ngannou has heavyweight size and in the cage has shown crushing power. But he’s wild, lacks boxing technique and has appeared to tire in MMA fights in the later rounds. So is there any reason Ngannou—who Tyson Fury has publicly named as a future opponent—would have more success in the ring than Conor McGregor, Tyronn Woodley or any of the MMA-ers who came before him?
