Johnny Walker has announced his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. The Brazilian light heavyweight explained that he has previously trained and sparred with Francis Ngannou, and despite being about 20 kg lighter while on a diet, he was able to work comfortably with the former heavyweight champion. Walker believes he would perform much better at heavyweight because the weight cut negatively impacts his training at light heavyweight. He reported experiencing dizziness and low energy due to lack of carbohydrates when dieting down. Walker expressed confidence that the move would allow him to train more effectively.
