Kamaru Usman has been making it clear that he wants a boxing match with Canelo Alvarez. The UFC welterweight champion had his manager, Ali Abdelaziz speak out on the matter.

Ali Abdelaziz has a lot of faith in the UFC welterweight champion and believes Kamaru Usman has what it takes to beat. He even thinks the Nigerian will find the knockout early.

“Kamaru will knock him out in three rounds,” Abdelaziz told MMA Junkie about the UFC welterweight. “You cannot say no to Kamaru. He’s a guy who comes from Africa. He jumped a lot of obstacles. I believe in Kamaru. This is the difference between me and other people. I believe in him, I live with him, I breathe with him, I die with him, I fight with him. He’s a special person in my life.

“How many street fights have me and Kamaru been to? We’ve been in a lot of street fights, and I have to believe in him. I believe Kamaru can beat any man alive.”

Kamaru Usman did not want to take on Jake Paul or even Logan Paul next. The UFC champion wanted to take on the best person boxing had to offer, that is easily Canelo Alvarez.

“I know (Usman) didn’t want to fight Jake Paul; he didn’t want to fight Logan Paul,” Abdelaziz said about the UFC champion. “He said I’m the pound-for-pound king in MMA, I want to fight the pound-for-pound coward in boxing because I think all these boxers are cowards because none of them want to come to MMA.

“They all want to come to boxing, but at the end of the day, in a street fight, who’s the baddest man on the planet? They cannot quote Canelo as the baddest man on the planet. They cannot quote Canelo the pound-for-pound best boxer because if they both in the street, who’s gonna win? Kamaru would beat his ass like he stole something.”
