Canelo Alvarez has responded to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman’s warning.
The UFC champion and the boxing champion have been in talks for a fight over the last few months. While Alvarez first shot down a fight with Usman, he’s since been more open to the fight. However, he’s also noted that he’s not going to fight him anytime soon.
This response from the Mexican superstar hasn’t sat well with Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz. The manager has gone off on the boxer multiple times for turning down the bout with his fighter. In an interview last month, Abdelaziz said:
“He don’t want to fight Jake Paul, or Logan Paul. He said, ‘I’m the pound for pound king in MMA, and I want to fight the pound for pound king’, coward, in boxing. I think all these boxers are cowards because they don’t want to fight in MMA, they want us to all come to boxing. But at the end of the day, in a street fight, who’s the baddest man on the planet? They cannot call Canelo Alvarez the baddest man on the planet? They cannot call him that because if they both met in the street who would win? Kamaru would beat his a*s like he stole something”.

As of now, there’s little hope that these two will fight in the future. However, that hasn’t stopped them from going back and forth over social media.
