Ali Abdelaziz has certainly made it known that Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards 3 will be going ahead as scheduled. And Usman is ready to bring the title back home with him.

Can Leon Edwards beat Kamaru Usman once again?

Leon Edwards shook the world last year when he defeated Kamaru Usman via knockout in the final round of their rematch. The fight was dominated by Usman up until the last moment. He was hit with a vicious head kick by the Englishman in the fifth round.

With the two now set for a trilogy bout later this year, there is no doubting Edwards’ ability. However, Kamaru Usman will most likely walk away with the victory. As he looked in full control of their fight last year as well. But he will need to be extra conscious this time around.
