Johnny Walker plans heavyweight move, cites weight cut struggles

Johnny Walker has revealed his intention to move up to heavyweight. He explained that despite being on a diet and having roughly a 20 kg weight difference, he was able to spar comfortably with Francis Ngannou. Walker stated that he would feel much better competing at heavyweight because his current weight cuts leave him dizzy and low on energy due to carbohydrate depletion. He emphasized that cutting weight significantly hampers his ability to train effectively. The fighter's decision appears motivated by both performance concerns and the physical toll of making the light heavyweight limit.
