Quick read

Johnny Walker announced he is considering a move to the heavyweight division. The light heavyweight contender explained that he trained and sparred with Francis Ngannou, and despite having a 20kg weight difference while dieting, he was able to work comfortably with the former champion. Walker stated he would feel much better at heavyweight because his current diet leaves him dizzy and low on energy due to lack of carbohydrates. He believes he cannot train properly while cutting weight for light heavyweight. Walker emphasized that the weight cut prevents him from performing at his best in training. The Brazilian fighter is looking to find a division where he can compete without the severe effects of weight cutting.
