Even though Usman lost to Dmitry Bivol in May's fight, he still wants to see boxing's most popular attraction.
He said to TMZ Sport, "Canelo is, let's face it, one of the best in this era right at the moment. It's a spectacle.
"It's impossible for us to enter there, pound to pound vs. pound to pound, and they are significantly close in weight to be able it?"
"Why not? It's something that I am sure a lot of people don't like, but it has been the subject of some incredible events.
"I don’t believe there’s anyone in the world that isn’t watching that fight."
Conor McGregor (34), was never allowed to enter the UFC boxing ring. This defeat came against Floyd Mayweather (45).
They have not allowed any of their stars to move.
On August 20, Usman, 35 years old, will return to Salt Lake City to defend his welterweight title, against Leon Edwards (30).
Canelo, 31 years old, faces Golovkin (40), for the third time in Las Vegas. The fight is set for September 17.
Usman stated that "That was supposed be our date, my date at Canelo. But of course, he found another person to dance with."
"I mean, GGG. The trilogy, that's an amazing fight, that I'm going to be paying attention and watching."
