“The hand is recovering good, surgery went well, now I’m doing therapy. Hopefully, I would like to fight in July. That’s what I’m shooting for but these doctors are saying I need to get this time because I don’t want to punch a hole in something and punch another hole in my hand, so I need to definitely make sure that my hand heals the proper way because these are the money makers.”

Kamaru and Canelo have been talking about fighting each other for quite some time now but Usman says that he still has unfinished business inside the octagon to finish first. Leon Edwards who is seemingly ready to fight the champ will have to wait for the opportunity until the champ heals and then try to take the belt from him, mostly which will take place after July.
