      Ngannou, 36, set his sights on throwing down with the likes of Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Wilder after leaving the UFC.
      And The Predator has revealed he’s held talks with the Bronze Bomber over a multi-million-pound crossover clash.
      The PFL newboy told The Schmo: “We were having conversations earlier this year before they came out with the potential fight in December.
      “So that’s why we’re going to hold that up, in order to finish his business in December, but we were serious about a two-fight deal.”

      Former WBC king Wilder is open to fighting Ngannou in boxing AND mixed martial arts.
      He said: “I thought about this many times. Even with Ngannou, we were talking about getting together.
      “You always see the MMA guys crossing over, but you never see the boxers crossing over.
      “So I said I’m willing to make it more interesting for the fans and just the whole combat family as in a whole.

      “I said why don’t you come to my backyard, and after we handle business, I can come to yours and crossover, and I really meant it.
      “So things are still up in the air, but I have seen myself on this side of the field.
      “People will be very impressed on what I can do in my abilities to be here.”
      Ngannou initially set his sights on a showdown with current WBC heavyweight champion Fury, who he’s called out multiple times on social media.
      UFC president Dana White, however, has recently tried to goad Fury into fighting new heavyweight king Jon Jones – a pursuit Ngannou believes his former promoter has no chance of being successful in.
      He said: “I don’t care about that. There’s a difference between what Dana White says and what Tyson Fury wants.

      “So, as for right now, I think we are more likely to also have that fight, but nothing has been set up yet.
      “[Fury is] not going to fight MMA. He’s not going to fight in the cage.
      “He was clear about that. He’s gonna be in the ring, period.”
      Ngannou also reckons Fury has no intention of following through on his vow to throw down in a hybrid boxing match.

      He said: “Tyson would not be willing to do that.”
      “Of course, I’d be willing to do that. Martial arts is my comfort zone, so I would definitely be happy to do that. But no, he doesn’t want that.” More

      During the start of the fight, Mayweather fended off the telegraphed punches and rocked the grandson of the notorious New York gangster with a right hand before close to 30 people flew into the ring.
      Not only were the opposing corners throwing fists, so too were fans and even celebrities who showed up for the event.

      Biaggio Ali Walsh awarded a certificate of appreciation for preventing a would-be assault
      But he also works on the Las Vegas strip as a security guard in between training sessions and bouts.
      Biaggio, 24, told SunSport: “They’ve got me in the DJ booth right now, so me and my colleague, that’s our area. 
      “We’re only concerned with what’s going on in the booth and when he talent or the DJ is done performing, we have to escort them back and then I’m off. I actually like this position right now.” 
      Biaggio – who was once awarded a certificate of appreciation by the police for preventing a would-be assault on a woman – usually works on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

      He sometimes finishes as late as 4am after keeping punters in their place and admitted: “Oh, they get rowdy. For sure. 
      “We have some guys that we have to like shove out of the booth, but I don’t mind it, I’m a fighter, I’m kind of used to confrontation. 
      “But it’s cool, it’s fun, I enjoy it and they pay me well. 
      “My supervisor, he used to be a fighter as well so he really understands my training schedule and how important it is to me.

      “It’s a great job to have on the side if you want to make some extra money.”
      Despite his iconic surname, Biaggio enjoys getting no special treatment the famed Xtreme Couture gym that he trains at.
      And he finds it just as amusing that partygoers have no idea of his legendary bloodline whenever he works the doors.
      Biaggio said: “When we were very young, we kept it very secretive who me and my brother were related to. 
      “My mum always told us that we were going to have to work a little bit harder if we were to be successful in sports, just because of the name. 
      “People are going to say, ‘You only got this opportunity because of this or that.’ They’re always going to relate it back to my grandfather, no matter what I do. 
      “So it just makes us work harder, my grandfather gave me some great advice as a kid, he always told me to be humble, always stay humble. 
      “That’s a piece of advice that I’m going to take with me for the rest of my life, because being humble is a good thing, it keeps you grounded. 
      “I’m a very religious and spiritual person, I have a great relationship with God, so that keeps me grounded as well. I think it’s a good way to live.” 
      Having not turned professional, Biaggio is unable to compete in the PFL’s $1m winner-take-all season, which consists of qualification and knockout stages.
      But he has had two amateur bouts with the PFL and returns on Saturday against Travell Miller in the latest of his experience-building bouts.

      Biaggio said: “I’m still trying to figure out the right mentality, the right style, I’m still trying to get as much experience as possible. 
      “So going into this fight, I just want to fight. It’s kind of hard to convey it, I just want to go in there fight and get as much experience as possible.”

      “They keep coming from different angles and he’s got some miles on him. He’s been around a long time.
      “[Diaz has] to show that he can take the shot from Jake Paul, because Jake has a natural right hand, it’s got power on it.
      “So if he can take that right hand from Jake Paul, it’s gonna be a tougher fight than people realise, man, because Nate’s going to keep coming.”
