Johnny Walker has announced intentions to transition to the heavyweight division. He cited his training and sparring experience with Francis Ngannou, noting that despite a 20kg weight difference while on a diet, he was able to work comfortably with the former heavyweight champion. Walker explained that he would feel much better at heavyweight because dieting negatively affects his training, causing dizziness and low energy due to insufficient carbohydrates. He believes the move would allow him to train more effectively without the constraints of weight cutting.
