Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza Slammed Kamaru Usman in his recent tweet and claimed that Boxers have full autonomy in choosing their opponents.

According to him Canelo is not “ducking” Usman but, is using his liberty to choose his opponents.

The Showtime president seemingly took a dig at Dana White, saying UFC fighters let a “kickboxing instructor” choose their fights. White used to work as a boxercise instructor ahead of his UFC days.

Replying to Usman, Espinoza wrote: “LOL. UFC fighters want that boxing paycheck but don’t understand that boxers have the autonomy to choose opponents. It’s not about not wanting “smoke.” It’s about professional self-determination, a foreign concept to those who let the kickboxing instructor choose their fights.”
