We’re not gonna take the fight to become the champion of the world and be the star that we always wanted to be?’” Usman asked ESPN. “Why would anyone do that? Oh, you’re just trying to get some money because you think that’s an easier fight for you. The guy that you kinda just beat, playing around, that’s a better fight for you?
