Johnny Walker reveals plans to move up to heavyweight division

Light heavyweight Johnny Walker discussed his intention to transition to the heavyweight division. Walker cited his sparring experience with Francis Ngannou, saying he worked comfortably with the former heavyweight champion even while on a diet and weighing approximately 20 kilograms less. He believes he would feel much better at heavyweight because dieting prevents him from training properly. Walker explained that cutting weight causes dizziness and low energy due to insufficient carbohydrate intake. The Brazilian fighter believes the move up in weight would allow him to perform at his best without the physical toll of making light heavyweight.
