When an athlete achieves a lot of success, fame automatically comes to him/her. Usually, when these athletes get fame, we see that documentaries/biopics are made about them. Recently, when UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman was asked whom he would like to see in his role if a biopic was made on him. To this, Kamaru Usman had a very interesting response.

Usman answered saying. “I don’t know. I don’t know…I would have to say, of course, he is a lot older than me, I would have to say probably, Jame Foxx…I mean that would be the wise choice, but of course, he is older than me.”
