Kamaru Usman would rather face Canelo Alvarez for a guaranteed payday over any "gamble" against Jake Paul.
UFC welterweight champion Usman has teased a boxing switch over the last year or two as he eyes a shot at the big financial prizes available in the squared circle. His ideal opponent would be Alvarez, who he has called out on multiple occasions as he seeks a lucrative crossover bout in the same mould as Conor McGregor's 2017 clash with Floyd Mayweather.
The Nigerian has also discussed facing the challenge of Paul, who has already fought UFC stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley in the boxing ring. However, he would give his potential rival a puncher's chance of winning the fight, despite predicting he will treat it as a walk in the park.
