After revealing his openess to have a trilogy bout with rival Dillian Whyte: “Another push I’m trying to get through is a fight with Ngannou – in Africa.”
The Zimbabwean-born Brit said: “I want to push [for] that [fight].
“If I can get Francis Ngannou in Africa for our own African people to see us perform, instead of us performing in European countries and Saudi [Arabia].
“It will give just a little bit of a taste to our young and upcoming talent in Africa to see African warriors go at it.
“But if there’s not much money raised there, I might just do a 50/50 fight with Dillian at Royal Albert Hall.
“Where I will invite some Prime Ministers, Presidents, Nigel [Farage], he’s my boy.”
