Former UFC champion Kamaru Usman has not ruled out the possibility of a high-profile fight against YouTube star KSI, provided the compensation is adequate. Usman attended the Misfits Boxing gala in Miami on Saturday night, where he participated in the broadcast and supported his close friend Henry Cejudo from the ring side. Cejudo secured a unanimous decision victory against Javon "Wanna" Walton, and later analyzed the event in detail with Usman on their podcast Pound 4 Pound. Usman is open to a potential fight against KSI, although his future in the UFC remains uncertain. His recent record in the octagon has been inconsistent, and it appears the era when he could compete for world titles is over. His loss to Dricus Du Plessis earlier this year likely ended his chances of claiming the middleweight title; the future of his career remains to be determined. In the new episode of his podcast with Cejudo, Usman mentioned that "people from Misfits" discussed a possible matchup between him and KSI. Both are of Nigerian origin and use the nickname "The Nightmare" for their fights. Usman remained evasive on the subject, questioning what sum might be offered for such an event. "Listen, as I've always said — and as you said about RAF Wrestling and all those different things — I never say 'never'," Usman said with a sly smile, just before a sudden cut in the editing. KSI has not fought since his unanimous decision loss to Tommy Fury in October 2023. He had scheduled two comeback fights, but had to withdraw each time due to a hand injury and a presumed illness; however, he should finally undergo hand surgery that could allow him to return to the ring.
