Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz blasts boxing P4P king Canelo Alavarez for not wanting to fight his client
The outlandish Ali Abdelaziz is one of the most polarizing figures in MMA today. Although people might dislike him, its no doubt that he’s always worked tirelessly towards providing his fighters with the best deals and fights.
During an interview with The Schmo, Ali lambasted Saul Canelo Alvarez, amid rumors of a superfight between Kamaru Usman and the boxing superstar. He said,
“You know, Kamaru didn’t call out Jake Paul or Logan Paul – none of these guys. You have to respect the man, he called out this coward [Canelo Alvarez]. And honestly, all these boxing guys are a little bit [cowardly] because they will not come to MMA, they will not fight in the streets, they only want to fight in the boxing ring – under their rules. And guess what? If they’re not willing to come to our sport – the UFC and MMA in general – you shouldn’t call yourself a fighter. You’re a sportsman. Canelo, if you want the smoke, Kamaru give him the smoke.”
A while earlier, the CEO of Dominance MMA Management said that Usman will knock out Canelo inside three rounds, should they clash in the future.
