Unified world light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev shared his thoughts on the upcoming rematch for the WBA / WBO / IBF heavyweight titles between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs), which is scheduled on August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
Recall that before the first fight, which took place in September last year and ended with Usyk’s victory on points, Beterbiev bet on Joshua and said that if Anthony fails, then he is a “bad boxer”.
“Very interesting, of course. I think if Anthony Joshua drew conclusions, changed something in his camp … He had such precedents before: he lost to Andy Ruiz by knockout, but then he won against him. Not by knockout, but at least beat him, reminds Arthur in an interview
“SE”. “I think he can do well. In my understanding, he can be better than in the first fight. As for Usyk, it’s also interesting what he will show in the second fight.”
Beterbiev also admitted that he was interested in fighting Usyk in the professionals.
