Light heavyweight Johnny Walker discussed his intentions to transition to the heavyweight division. Walker cited his training and sparring experience with Francis Ngannou as evidence he can compete at heavyweight, noting he worked comfortably with Ngannou despite being 20 kg lighter while on a diet. He explained that he would feel much better at heavyweight because his current weight cutting prevents him from training properly. Walker described experiencing dizziness and low energy due to insufficient carbohydrate intake during his diet cuts. He believes competing at heavyweight would allow him to train and perform at his full potential.
