Kamaru Usman Eyes Double-Champ Dream Before Retirement

Former welterweight king Usman revealed his perfect career finale: “Win the welterweight title, vacate, win the middleweight title, retire. You can’t top that.” The ex-champion, 37, hopes to face the Islam Makhachev–Jack Della Maddalena winner for the 170-pound crown before challenging undefeated Khamzat Chimaev at 185. Usman last fought against Khamzat in 2023, on short notice, losing via majority decision.
