The welterweight champion is strongly pushing for a cross-promotional boxing match between him and the #1 pound-for-pound boxer, Canelo. Usman is coming off a stunning win against Colby Covington at UFC 268 in the Madison Square Garden that clocked amazing PPV numbers.

He [Usman] just sold 1 million pay-per-view buys and you [Alvarez] sold 800,000. What do you want to do? You’re going to fight the same guys?”

When the TMZ reporter asked how the fight would be possible between the two superstars, Ali replied saying, “Dana White will help us to make this fight,” and walked off in a hurry. However, the UFC President has previously told the press in public that Usman does not want to step in the ring with Alvarez.

Usman on the other hand is very determined to get his super fight and earn himself a truckload of money. The Mexican boxer on the other hand has revealed that he sees no reason why he would want to fight Usman in a boxing match.

Canelo Alvarez is coming off a win against Caleb Plant and became the first-ever undisputed super middleweight champion. White, after watching the Mexican’s last fight said Usman would not stand a chance against Canelo in a boxing ring. The President, instead jokingly said he would be okay if Canelo wanted to step into the MMA octagon against the Nigerian Nightmare.
