UFC star Kamaru Usman said Thursday that he has designs on boxing Canelo Alvarez later this year.
Speaking with TMZ Sports, the reigning UFC welterweight champion made the following statement regarding his desire to face one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world: "In 2022, I'm gonna shock the world. July, International Fight Week, I'm gonna fight Leon Edwards. God willing I get through Leon Edwards, September, Mexican Independence Day, I will stop Canelo Alvarez."
If Usman vs. Alvarez happens, it would send shockwaves through the combat sports world and be the biggest crossover since Floyd Mayweather Jr.
