When is Usman's next fight?

Recently, he mentioned Khamzat Chimaev (12-0) as a perfect opponent, per ESPN.

"A fight with myself and Khamzat? Boom," Usman told ESPN. "I'm kind of in a place now where I'm having fun with it, and what's the biggest, funnest, most intense fight that really makes me feel something? That's a fight right there. That could headline a pay-per-view."
