Canelo Alvarez has a boxing match against Caleb Plant on Saturday. Kamaru Usman has an MMA fight against Colby Covington on Saturday also.
That's where the similarities end for the two men. They don't compete in the same sport and have different careers. That hasn't stopped Kamaru Usman from trying to crossover to Canelo Alvarez's world.
Kamaru Usman recently called out Canelo Alvarez in an interview with DAZN.
“It only makes sense because we’re in an era to where people want to be entertained.
“So, in order to entertain people, when have we in history ever seen the two pound-for-pound fighters in the world in combat sports at the top of their prime, when have we ever seen them compete? It never happened.
“Either man waits for the other one to get old. It’s rarely ever really happened. But it’s either that both are out of their prime, both are old … it’s never been done,” Usman said about a super fight with Canelo Alvarez.
“In order for us to do that, this will be the greatest, the biggest event ever. The two pound-for-pound fighters in combat sports at the top of their prime to get in there and duke it out, I believe will be probably the biggest event ever.”
FightHype asked Canelo Alvarez about the call out and he had a simple answer: ‘payday.'

He dismissed the call out and plans to focus on his upcoming fight against Caleb Plant. Kamaru Usman will certainly keep trying to get the fight with a win over Colby Covington at UFC 268.
