Johnny Walker has revealed his intentions to transition from light heavyweight to the heavyweight division. Walker explained that he has trained and sparred with Francis Ngannou, and even while on a diet with approximately 20kg less weight, he was able to work comfortably with the former heavyweight champion. He stated that he would feel much better competing at heavyweight because his current weight-cutting regimen leaves him unable to train properly. Walker described experiencing dizziness and low energy due to insufficient carbohydrate intake while dieting for light heavyweight. The move would allow him to train and compete without the physical toll of cutting weight.
