Hearn believes AJ v Ngannou is the fight to make after 'The Predator' came so close to upsetting Tyson Fury.
The former UFC Heavyweight Champion made his professional boxing debut on Sunday, facing Tyson Fury in a heavyweight showdown in Saudi Arabia.
“The MMA world believe Ngannou beats everyone. When I met Ngannou he was trying to pitch me AJ against Ngannou in Africa. I spoke to AJ about it at the time and he said ‘I want to try to win the world heavyweight championship now’. Hearn suggested Saudi Arabia or another Middle Eastern country could host, but also wondered if it would be financially feasible for a potential bout in Africa between the ‘Predator’ and two-time heavyweight champion Joshua would be financially feasible.
