Cannonier called the condition for the fight with Chimaev

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.
