Francis Ngannou is a man in high demand at the moment.

Following his release from the UFC, everyone wants a piece of the former heavyweight champion.

Deontay Wilder has now also challenged The Predator, and wants the fight to take place in Africa, Bloody Elbow reported.

“I love Francis. When I met him at the UFC APEX in Vegas, we talked about it during that time and I’m still interested in that fight. I would love to do that one in Africa," he said.

The Bronze Bomber also doesn't just want a normal fight either and is willing to fight Ngannou in an MMA bout and a boxing match.

"Let’s make it a two-fight deal. Everybody always comes to boxing. Let’s do this, you come to my house, I come to yours," he said.

"I’d love to go over there to the African continent and do it. That’s going to be a Marvel fight with two big Black superheroes. I’d love to do it," Wilder added.

The former boxing champion isn't the first heavyweight to call out Ngannou. Previously, Tyson Fury challenged the Cameroonian fighter to a fight in a cage under Queensbury rules.

As reported by The Mirror, Ngannou has now accepted those terms, but a fight between the two seems unlikely anytime soon. Fury is scheduled to face Oleksandr Usyk in a title unification bout first.

Ngannou responds to Fury's challenge

Francis Ngannou doesn't back down from any challenge, even when it comes from a heavyweight boxing champion.

The Predator, who is currently a free agent, recently opened up about the prospect of facing Tyson Fury in a mixed-rules fight.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ngannou said he was hopeful of a fight with The Gypsy King, but that social media talk was irrelevant unless things were made official.
