Kamaru Usman has been told to forget about taking a "horrible" fight with Canelo Alvarez.
The Nigerian Nightmare' is currently the leading pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC but is currently eyeing a move to the boxing ring. He has frequently called out boxing's leading star Alvarez to a potential crossover bout with the Mexican star having recently become undisputed champion at 168lbs.
UFC kingpin Dana White is uncertain how many people would be interested in seeing a bout between the pair, however, and has dismissed boxing vs MMA crossover bouts in general. "He (Usman) is serious about it, he shouldn't be serious about it,"White told Sky Sports. "I don't like that fight at all. Everything about it is horrible. It's a stupid fight to make, it makes no sense. I don't know how many people would be interested in seeing that.
