Does Francis Ngannou have more power than Deontay Wilder?

Francis Ngannou may only have a puncher’s chance against Tyson Fury this Saturday night, but Michael Bisping has paid tribute to Ngannou’s power.  

The former UFC heavyweight champion is a big underdog against Fury and although Bisping can see why, he’s made a huge claim about Ngannou’s strength by insisting he hits harder than Deontay Wilder. 

Wilder, a famous rival of Fury, climbed the heavyweight division in impressive fashion by stopping or flooring every single opponent he’s faced.  

Recognised as one of boxing’s all-time biggest punchers, Wilder doesn’t hit as hard as Ngannou if Bisping is to be believed and he thinks Fury can be hurt if Ngannou lands. 

“If one does land, Tyson Fury could hit the canvas because Francis Ngannou is the hardest puncher Fury’s faced,” said the UFC legend when speaking to Betway

“Francis hits harder than Deontay Wilder without question.”
