FRANCIS NGANNOU has talked up a super-fight with Deontay Wilder – but there could be a twist. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ngannou swapped the MMA cage for the boxing ring for his crossover clash in Saudi Arabia against Tyson Fury. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

And he astonishingly dropped Fury and was desperately unfortunate to walk away on the losing end of a split-decision. <\/p>\n

Ngannou's heroic performance has seen him leave the door open to more boxing bouts. <\/p>\n

He previously held talks to face Wilder before finalising a deal with Fury.<\/p>\n

The fight could now be re-visited but according to Ngannou, possibly in the cage. <\/p>\n

He said on\u00a0The MMA Hour: "I think that is a good idea. <\/p>\n

"In fact, we have spoken about that. In fact, that has been in the discussions. So that\u2019s something that can potentially happen.<\/p>\n

"Deontay Wilder for a couple of months, for a little while now, has been training MMA. Because there is an option here.<\/p>\n

"Nothing is set, but it\u2019s been something been coming to my ear, to my attention, so that\u2019s something that makes sense.<\/p>\n

"He\u2019s really serious about MMA. I know a lot of people talk, 'I'm going to do this in boxing and do that in MMA.'<\/p>\n

"But Deontay Wilder is very interested in MMA and even to step in the octagon for MMA and MMA only."<\/p>\n

Wilder, 38, has previously called for a two-bout deal with Ngannou, 37, to fight in both boxing and MMA. <\/p>\n

Ngannou walked out on the UFC to pursue boxing while also signing for the Professional Fighters League.<\/p>\n

PFL owner Donn Davis – who gave his blessing to the heavyweight to box – has welcomed Wilder over to the cage. <\/p>\n

Davis said: "What would I think would be fascinating? Deontay Wilder in a mixed rules fight. I always say, what do I want to see?<\/p>\n

"I know a lot about boxing and a lot about MMA, but I\u2019m not a savant. I\u2019m not a deep, deep, deep insider.<\/p>\n

"So I like to test, what do I think millions of people would love to see? I think that\u2019s the most interesting thing we could all see.\u201d<\/p>\n
