PFL Founder Confirms Ngannou Can Make League Debut Against Wilder

PFL founder Donn Davis has confirmed that the most likely opponent for Francis Ngannou's league debut is former world boxing champion Deontay Wilder.

Donn Davis
What would I think would be fascinating? Deontay Wilder in a mixed rules fight. I like to test, what do I think millions of people would love to see? I think that’s the most interesting thing we could all see.

Recall, Ngannou last fought at the end of October at the evening of boxing in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), where he lost to the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury by split decision. He has 17 wins and three losses on his MMA record.

Wilder's last fight was against Robert Helenius in October 2022. This confrontation was stopped in the first round and ended in Deontay's favor with a knockout. He has 43 wins (42 by knockout), one draw and two losses.
