DEONTAY WILDER wants to fight Francis Ngannou in boxing AND MMA – warning of his power in the tiny 4oz gloves.
Ngannou walked out on the UFC as heavyweight champion to sign for rivalling promotional The Professional Fighters League.
And the Cameroonian has also teased a mega-money move into boxing having held talks to fight Wilder.
But the former WBC heavyweight world champion is ready to return the favour as part of a two-bout deal in the ring and cage.
Wilder told SunSport: “I would love it. I would love it very much so, just to show the competitive side.
“If he crosses over and comes where I am, I can come over and cross over to where he is.

“Both are both worlds. I think it would be more interesting, not only to us but for the fans as well just to see it.
“Because that hasn’t happened yet, we’ve seen a lot of MMA guys come over and you’ve seen a couple of boxers come over but you’ve never seen the back and forth. I think it would be very interesting.”
Ngannou, 36, desperately wanted to fight in the UFC and box at the same time but was contractually prohibited.
So he jumped ship to sign with the PFL to feature in their newly-formed super-fight division while simultaneously boxing.

And Wilder, 37, took a trip out to Atlanta to watch PFL stars in action, even trying on the 4oz MMA gloves.
It left him brutally predicting fireworks if he was to ever grace the cage.
Wilder said: “I just wore a pair not too long ago just to feel the light weight, there’s really no padding if any.
“They feel real firm and the head is not supposed to be hit in the first place, so to shake the brain like that – especially with the power that I pack – it will be a sight to see.
“It really will, it will be like the 4th of July.”
