The UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, had expressed his desire to crossover to boxing for a face-off with the undisputed champion, Canelo Alvarez. Recently, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s manager, Aziz Abdelaziz, took to social media to call out Alvarez for not fighting Usman.

In a tweet, Abdelaziz called Alvarez a coward, for fighting boxers who aren’t popular enough. He said, “@Canelo is an absolute chicken, he is fighting guys with 5000 followers on Instagram, these guys will never do nothing for his legacy.”

Moreover, he also mentioned that Alvarez is scared to lose to Usman. He added, “This is chicken style, no risk – no reward.”

However, Alvarez seemed amused by Abdelaziz’s tweet. He retaliated by saying, “Who the f*** is this?”

Abdelaziz was not very pleased by Alvarez’s reply. In fact, he mentioned that Alvarez knows him well, but was acting ignorant.

Further he also made a comparison between Alvarez and Usman. He said, “You know the difference between you and @USMAN84kg? You’ve been ducking GGG for 2 years now, but Kamaru have fought everybody UFC threw at him.”

Abdelaziz was referring to the rivalry and the two matches between Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
