After proving his mettle in the world of combat sports, Kamaru Usman is now all set to prove himself in Hollywood. The pound-for-pound king will feature in the highly anticipated Marvel movie ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’.
‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ appears to be very excited to be a part of the movie. The fighter also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to represent the African community not only in MMA but also in Hollywood.
Speaking to TMZ Sports in a recent interview, the 35-year-old UFC welterweight champion had this to say:
“I’m extremely excited because that’s my first one. I knew I was gonna be in movies at some point one day. But for that, to be in that movie, I’m extremely excited because that’s a movie that transcends just being a movie star… it’s a movie that stands for something… I kind of represent that in a sense with what I’m doing. So being associated and being in a movie like that, to be able to represent… not just the MMA community but an African mixed martial artist at the top of the sport. It means a lot to me.”
