Quick read
Light heavyweight Johnny Walker revealed his intentions to transition to the heavyweight division. Walker shared that he has trained and sparred with former champion Francis Ngannou, and even with a 20kg weight difference while on a diet, he felt comfortable working with the heavyweight. The Brazilian fighter explained that he would feel much better at heavyweight because dieting negatively impacts his training, causing dizziness and low energy due to lack of carbohydrates. Walker believes the move up in weight would allow him to train more effectively without the constraints of cutting weight. No timeline was provided for when this transition might occur.
