Johnny Walker has announced his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. Walker said he sparred with Francis Ngannou while on a diet and with a 20kg weight difference, yet felt comfortable working with the former champion. He explained that cutting weight severely impacts his training, causing dizziness and low energy due to carbohydrate restriction. Walker believes he would perform much better at heavyweight where he can train at full capacity. The light heavyweight contender emphasized that weight cutting prevents him from training properly and reaching his full potential.
