However, his call-outs for a fight have not been met with the same vigour from Alvarez.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview with John Morgan, Usman shared his thoughts on Canelo\u2019s recent fight where he came up short against Dmitry Bivol. He said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI mean it&#8217;s , I mean it&#8217;s tough now just because it&#8217;s, you know people are fixated on the fact of dominance. Everyone&#8217;s dominant and dominant and dominant. I still think its, a you know it&#8217;s a tremendous fight. It&#8217;s a phenomenal fight because he&#8217;s still there in those pound-for-pound rankings.\u201d<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5rILltIUjII\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018The Nigerian Nightmare\u2019 continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut of course, it&#8217;s a bit tarnished now you know because his aura of invincibility has diminished a bit but you know more power to him. He&#8217;s a true champion, he&#8217;s one of the best boxers that we&#8217;ve seen especially in my generation, so you hats off to him. It&#8217;s always been nothing but respect, you know it was just I was willing to test and challenge myself and you know he just wasn&#8217;t biting me.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/somebody-is-going-to-have-to-pay-kamaru-usmans-manager-ali-abdelaziz-fires-off-at-jake-paul-for-his-recent-comments\/\">\u2018Somebody Is Going to Have to Pay\u2019- Kamaru Usman\u2019s Manager Ali Abdelaziz Fires Off at Jake Paul for His Recent Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Canelo Alvarez\u2019s loss spells the end of a super fight against Kamaru Usman?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/ufc.com\/\">UFC<\/a> welterweight champion planned on defending his belt against Leon Edwards in July or August and then fighting Canelo Alvarez towards the end of the year.
