As reported originally by Sky Sports, Whyte has found flaws in Francis Ngannou’s boxing style and has outlined why he will be successful against the former UFC heavyweight champion.
Dillian Whyte said, “I would love to fight him. Obviously, he is a champion, a dangerous guy but I think I would bash him up. Obviously, he is a good fighter, he is strong but there are lot of holes in his game. He is throwing from far away, he is a slugger. In MMA, that style runs because you have small gloves and you just need to connect anywhere with someone to do damage.”
