Kamaru Usman claims he will fight Canelo Alvarez for $100m despite Gennady Golovkin deal

UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman claims he will fight Canelo Alvarez in September - despite the Mexican agreeing a deal with Gennady Golovkin.

Alvarez will take on Dmitry Bivol on May 7 in Las Vegas before taking on Golovkin in September - assuming the Kazakh beats Ryota Murata in April.

But Usman, who is currently recovering from injury, claims he will jump the queue to fight Alvarez, after he defends his UFC title against Leon Edwards in July.
