Quick read
Johnny Walker has announced his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. Walker explained that he trained and sparred with Francis Ngannou, and despite having a 20 kg weight disadvantage while on a diet, he felt comfortable working with the former champion. The Brazilian believes he would perform much better at heavyweight, as the weight cut negatively impacts his training. Walker stated that dieting causes dizziness and low energy due to carbohydrate restriction, preventing him from training at full capacity. He expressed confidence that competing at his natural weight would significantly improve his performance.
