Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) in a rematch with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), although he will need to perform differently than he did in the first lost fight in the fall of 2021, but at the same time “Don’t lose yourself.” So says an American analyst, ex-world champion in two divisions Timothy Bradley.
His direct advice to Joshua is “you need to be strong at heart, functionally ready, but not lose yourself and who you are, what led you to achieve”, and also “attack more often in the torso” of a mobile opponent, champion of IBF, WBO and WBA
He added that Anthony “understands that everything is at stake here, understands the level of the task,” and therefore made all the necessary changes in the camp and the team.
“Joshua has the skill, he has already shown that he can adapt and change. He has an experienced coach who will make sure that Anthony is in shape and will give him valuable tips on holes in Usyk’s defense and his joints. Joshua needs to shake Usyk to win this fight. And strong,” Tim said. Fighthype.

According to Bradley, the main thing for Joshua in a rematch is not to give up in a figurative sense. That is, do not capitulate morally.
“You have to stay on track with the plan. Believe in your corner. In your condition. In what you do The more I think about it, the more I’m inclined to believe that this will be a more competitive fight than what I predicted from the rematch earlier. Joshua seems to be mentally focused and knows he has a lot to prove,” the expert said.
What should Joshua do after being knocked out by Usyk? Fight Wilder, expert says.
