It seems, Colby covington spoke again. After being defeated by knockout in the fight for the welterweight belt (under 77kg), the American returned to giving interviews. This time, the athlete shot the rapper Curtis James Jackson, the 50 Cent, and challenged the artist to a boxing match in response to the provocations made by the musician after his defeat in the UFC 245 and also to Kamaru Usman. The 'Chaos' statement was made in an interview with Ariel Helwani, from 'ESPN'.

“I want to propose here, on Ariel Helwani's program, today, a celebrity boxing challenge. I'm going to tie one hand behind my back and face 50 cent. I'm going to put in US$1 million (about R$4,2 million) and fight him in a celebrity duel. I will donate all my money to the army because I love them. They defend our freedom. They donate for America”, said Colby.
The challenge to the singer came after Curtis took to social media to celebrate his victory Kamaru Usman over Covington, December 14th. At the time, the rapper used the space to congratulate the Nigerian and call Colby a racist.
50 Cent's post didn't sound good to Colby, who responded with the challenge.
So far, Jackson, who currently divides his life between music and acting in films, has not yet commented on Covington's statements.
At the moment, Colby is not scheduled to return to the Octagon. The athlete recently confirmed his desire to have a rematch against Usman. However, the Nigerian is in negotiations to carry out his second title defense, this time against Jorge masvidal. The date and location have not yet been defined.
