After Conor McGregor infamously crossed over to boxing to face Floyd Mayweather in a heavily hyped superfight, plenty of MMA fighters have wanted to follow suit. But if one fighter has the momentum to do so right now, it’s probably Jorge Masvidal , who has had an incredible 2019, becoming one of the sport’s biggest stars. Masvidal has expressed interest in boxing Saul Alvarez , the man best known as “Canelo.” Fellow UFC welterweight Michael Chiesa , for one, is all for it and believes the possibilities for Masvidal are endless. “Now, the things you can do with Jorge Masvidal, screw it, set up him in a boxing match,” Chiesa told MMA Junkie.
