The last time these two fought, on Dec. 14, 2019, was a close fight that was about to go to a decision, where it would have been split. However, Covington, who had his jaw broken a couple of rounds prior, got caught by Usman a couple of times at the end of the championship round, and the fight was ended early.
Since then, Usman has successfully defended his title three times, which included two knockouts. He looks like a much better striker and overall fighter since the last time these two met. Covington, on the other hand, has fought just once, winning by a fifth-round knockout over a year ago.
We’re in for a good one tonight, so make sure you don’t miss it.
