UFC President Dana White once again made it clear that he is categorically against the idea Kamaru Usman hold a boxing match with the absolute world champion in super middleweight Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Usman is the greatest welterweight of all time. He is the best fighter in the world, regardless of weight categories. Kamaru is handsome. But stay away from Canelo.

All this boxing stuff... Tyson Fury is one of the best heavyweights of all time. The best heavyweights can't stand in front of this guy and fight him. I think Canelo is the best P4P boxer in the world. No one can beat him in boxing. Stop guys! Stop stop,” White said in an interview with The Underground.

Recall that in November last year, Usman made his fifth title defense in the welterweight division, defeating Colby Covington by unanimous decision.
