British ex-world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) could not, or maybe simply did not want to answer the question of journalists about how good his physical condition is on the eve of a rematch against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs).
According to Anthony, he only hopes that he managed to prepare for the upcoming fight in Saudi Arabia in the best possible way, but he will definitely know about it only directly in the ring.
“I can’t tell right now,” Joshua admitted. “But what I noticed in the fights here is how all these guys trained and sparred and then went into the ring and fucking deflated. Only people like Floyd Mayweather, Errol Spence, Terence Crawford – they are always in phenomenal shape, they can work from the first to the last round. So I don’t know how good my form is. Hope she’s okay. But I will find out only on Saturday evening.
Meanwhile, the ex-champion and analyst predicts that Joshua’s aggression will play into the hands of Usyk – the ex-champion’s prediction.
