Former world heavyweight champion American Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) shared his opinion about the upcoming rematch of the current WBA / WBO / IBF heavyweight title holder Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and the British ex-champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs), which is scheduled for August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
According to Deontay, he prefers the Ukrainian, who, recall, won the first fight in September last year, outboxing Joshua in England by unanimous decision.
“I’m here for Usyk, man,” Wilder said in an interview with
ESNews. – I am for Usyk, and I think that many people are too (because of the first fight). You know, this is boxing after all, so we’ll see. But I think Usyk (will win).”
