Wilder, 35, recently took his training to the UFC’s Performance Institute in Las Vegas – where he met the promotion’s heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
After perching up on the ring apron, Ngannou said to Wilder: “Hey champ.”
Former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder replied by saying: “What’s up brother?”
After the pair embraced and shook hands, Ngannou answered: “Not much. How are you?”
Wilder responded: “Doing alright. Blessings, blessings, blessings.”
After Africa’s first UFC heavyweight champ expressed his delight to meet Wilder, the boxer said: “The pleasure is mine.”

Wilder ended the conversation by saying: “Trying to get back in the groove.”
