Former middleweight title contender Jared Cannonier said that he was not opposed to fighting Khamzat Chimaev if the victory guarantees him another title chance.

“This fight will give me a title shot? I don't know, he's not even in the middle division rankings. I know he is popular and everyone wants to see him fight. If they call me and offer a candidate meeting with Chimaev, I will agree.

I want to get to the belt. I don't perform just to entertain people. I just beat the third number of the division and now I'm aiming with the champion. So if you want me to welcome Khamzat to our division, I need to know that a win will take me to a title fight,” Cannonier said at a press conference.

Recall that on the night of June 18, Cannonier defeated Marvin Vettori by unanimous decision.
