In an interview, when asked if Usman could defeat Alvarez, Covington ridiculed the possibility of it happening. He said, “It’s probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I mean, man, that’s just sad man. It’s not even believable. Like, come on man, like let’s talk about things in the realm of possibility and just. It’s just, I mean you’re acting like a little kid.”
“I mean, you’re just, he’s just trying to get paid. That’s I mean the bottom line. He doesn’t want to fight tough fights anymore man. He just looks, he wants to get his big money fight and just walk off in the sunset…. He doesn’t want it like I want it.”
Covington also claimed that Usman might leave the sport by next year, whereas ‘Chaos’ is getting better at the sport. He said, “… you’re probably going to see that guy leave the sport within the next year.”
