Following Oleksandr Usyk’s huge win over Tyson Fury this past weekend, former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman wants to see Francis Ngannou given the next title shot.
Aleksandra Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years, with Lenox Lewis being the last one to complete the feat back in 1999.
After a strong first few rounds, it seemed as though the belts would be returning to the UK with Tyson Fury after he impressively kept Usyk at bay with his counter-punching.
Despite that, the hard-hitting Ukrainian scored a knockdown in round nine and turned the tide of the fight from there on out.
Kamaru Usman wants to see Oleksandr Usyk vs Francis Ngannou next
Francis Ngannou impressively emerged onto the boxing scene in October last year, when he took Tyson Fury to a split decision in his debut.
Following that, the 37-year-old took a fight against the athletic Anthony Joshua and was unfortunately knocked out brutally in the second round.
Former UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, has called for a fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Francis Ngannou, despite Ngannou’s devastating loss last time out.
“I know it’s crazy and I know everyone is going to try and say something about it, but I would love to see (Usyk) fight a guy like Francis Ngannou.” Kamaru Usman said on the Pound 4 Pound Podcast.
