Ferreira is esteemed a worthy opponent for Ngannou because he famously matches Ngannou in strength and punch power, but the champion had other things in his arsenal according to the following statement he made to talkSPORT.
‘I don’t think he’s ever fought someone with the power, and precision, that I have.
‘My movement inside the cage, how agile I am for a heavyweight. These are things that…I’m no match for the guys he’s fought. He’s never fought someone with these type of attributes.’
Both men would only meet if Ngannou’s journey towards becoming the undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion were stopped through a loss to Anthony Joshua on March 8.
Ferreira will have to enjoy his victory for some time, as things stand.
