One of the biggest stories of the year dropped last week as we learnt that Kamaru Usman will be stepping in to face undefeated phenom, Khamzat Chimaev. Borz was set to clash with Paulo Costa, however, the Brazilian had to withdraw from the bout due to injury.
Usman will be making the move up to middleweight for the first time in his career, off the back of two straight losses and taking on a huge task with Chimaev. With that being said, it’s not as if he hasn’t looked at Chimaev before, having discussed a potential match-up in May this year.
