Francis Ngannou isn't the only UFC champion looking for a super fight in boxing. Since the middle of last year, the holder of the welterweight belt (up to 77 kg) Kamaru Usman talks about his desire to face the multi-time champion Canelo Alvarez placeholder image in noble art. Last Thursday (10), the Nigerian's businessman spoke about the possibility.

In an interview with the North American website “MMA Junkie”, Ali Abdelaziz spoke about his desire to Kamaru Usman to test himself against the “best pound-for-pound boxer in the world” and called Canelo Alvarez placeholder image of “coward”.
“He doesn’t want to face Jake Paul or Logan Paul. He said he is the pound-for-pound king in MMA and he wants to face the pound-for-pound king, coward, in boxing. I think all these boxers are cowards because they don't want to fight in MMA, they want us to go to boxing. But at the end of the day, in a street fight, who is the baddest guy on the planet? They can't say he's Canelo. They can't because if the two met on the street, who would win? Kamaru would kick his ass as if he had stolen something,” Abdelaziz teased.
Ali Abdelaziz stated that he will try to make the superfight happen after his next title defense, Kamaru Usman, scheduled for July. The businessman also guaranteed that the Nigerian will knock out Alvarez in three rounds.
“First he has to defend the title in July. So we'll call on the greatest promoter of all time, Dana White, to put his stamp on it. Kamaru will knock him out in three rounds. I really think that and I believe in him”, concluded the businessman.
