‘I think he punches a hole in Deontay Wilder’… MMA legend makes wild Francis Ngannou prediction

Deontay Wilder would get brutally knocked out by Francis Ngannou, according to a former UFC star.

A clash between ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and ‘The Predator’ would pit possibly the two biggest punchers in human history against each other in a showdown destined to excite.

Wilder has recently publicly called Ngannou out, with hype generating for a potential bout.

However, despite his fantastic accolades in boxing, one retired mixed martial artist believes the superstar would be in for a rude awakening against the Cameroonian.

Dan Hardy thinks Francis Ngannou destroys Deontay Wilder

Dan Hardy is heavily favoring Francis Ngannou to beat Deontay Wilder.

And he didn’t remotely hold back from expressing how brutal he thinks the fight would be.

In an interview with The Schmo, Hardy said: “I’m backing Ngannou.

“He’s got decent boxing skills, he’s got good boxing defense, he’s got ridiculous power in his hands.

“Deontay Wilder is not the cleanest of boxers. He was dangerous because he’s got ridiculous power in his hands, and he’s got an unorthodox style.

“He’s tall, he’s long, he’s rangy, and he can whip with power.

“But Ngannou is a different thing. I think he punches a hole in Deontay Wilder — a big Francis Ngannou fist-sized hole in the middle of his chest.”

In his career, Ngannou has proven his power beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Prior to his bout with Anthony Joshua, the ex-UFC heavyweight champion trained alongside a warrior of the sport.
