Francis Ngannou could go to war with the winner of Eddie Hall and Mariusz Pudzianowski in a battle of the giants.
Later tonight, at KSW 105, inside the PreZero Arena in Gliwice, Poland, the two former World’s Strongest Men, will go to war in a contest that’s captured the attention of fans around the world.
However, while the fight presents a tough challenge for both competitors, they could have an even bigger mountain to cross in their next outing.
According to KSW’s President, a showdown between the victor and ‘The Predator’ is very much on the cards.

Since destroying Renan Ferreira to win the PFL Super Fights heavyweight title, Francis Ngannou has been without an opponent.
However, that could all be about to change, as KSW President, Martin Lewandowski, would love for the former UFC champion to go to war with whoever comes out on top between Mariusz Pudzianowski and Eddie Hall.
In an interview with MMA Fighting, the promoter explained: “I’m in touch with the guys from PFL. So, definitely we can talk about this kind of match if they would be willing to share the fighter, no problem.
“I can say from now that I’m interested to do that, definitely.”
On paper, with Pudzianowski having had significantly more experience than his upcoming opponent, he would probably make more sense for the MMA legend than the Brit would.
However, as Hall destroyed the score set by Francis Ngannou on the UFC’s PowerKube machine, the Cameroonian could want to reclaim the bragging rights.
While Hall is undeniably an intimidating man, it’s taken a lot of hard work for him to transition over to the world of MMA.
Last year, he was scheduled to make his debut against Mitchell Hooper, in a bout that never materialized.
In an attempt to hone his craft, the Englishman sparred a 6ft9 Russian beast.
During their session, Hall was dropped with a terrifying head kick.
