Dillian Whyte explains how he thinks he would beat Francis Ngannou
Watch Zepeda vs. Hughes Mar.16 live on DAZN
Dillian Whyte believes that he would have no problem defeating Francis Ngannou.
The former UFC heavyweight champion is still looking for a win in the ring after losing his second fight to Anthony Joshua last weekend.
He was knocked out in the second round after a fight that was far more one-sided than his debut, against Tyson Fury last October.
Fury will fight next on May 18 for the undisputed heavyweight title against Oleksandr Usyk, live on DAZN PPV.
Whyte returns to the ring this Sunday against Christian Hammer, and he told Sky Sports that he had previously tried to set up a double-header with Ngannou.
"I tried to fight Ngannou four years ago," he said. "I would have definitely knocked him out. I said I would fight him in boxing and MMA.
"I always believed I could knock him out because the boxing ability isn't there.
"I think he is a good fighter but I don't think he is a good boxer.
"I believe I would have been able to find a hole, hit him with body shots, and catch him with right hands."
