Johnny Walker disclosed his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. He shared that he has trained and sparred with Francis Ngannou, and even with 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 for light heavyweight leaves him dizzy and low on energy due to insufficient carbohydrates. He believes the weight cut prevents him from training properly. The post includes a poll asking fans whether he should make the move or if there are concerns about the transition.
