Johnny Walker has announced his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. He revealed that he sparred with Francis Ngannou while dieting and maintaining a 20 kg weight difference, and still felt comfortable in those sessions. Walker explained that he believes he would perform much better at heavyweight because cutting weight severely impacts his training. He described experiencing dizziness and low energy due to lack of carbohydrates while on a diet. The Brazilian fighter is confident that competing at a heavier weight class would allow him to train more effectively.
