Light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker discussed his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. Walker cited his training experience with Francis Ngannou, noting that even while on a diet with a 20-kilogram weight difference, he was able to work comfortably with the former champion. He explained that he would feel much better at heavyweight because his current weight cuts negatively impact his training. Walker stated that dieting causes dizziness and low energy due to insufficient carbohydrate intake. The move could allow him to compete without the physical toll of cutting weight.
