The Nigerian leader said even as the COVID-19 pandemic has brought sadness to families across the world, Usman’s title defence has brought smiles and joy to Nigerians.
“While the global COVID-19 pandemic may have brought gloom to many families and nations, the President is delighted and gratified that our welterweight champion has lifted our spirits with another professional performance proving that things will surely get better at the fullness of time when we remain committed to our vision,” the statement read.
“The President wishes Usman the very best and more victories in his career and prays that like fine wine, he improves with age.”
Taking Him On
“Gamebred (Masvidal) is the biggest, baddest dude out there right now and I had to take him,” said Usman after the fight.
“I know a lot of noise was made about him preparing on short notice but all these guys are preparing for one guy and that’s me.
