Former world welterweight champion (up to 66 kg kg), and now a successful coach, Ukrainian Vyacheslav Senchenko shared his opinion about the upcoming rematch of his compatriot, current WBA / WBO / IBF heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and former British champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).
Recall that the long-awaited fight will take place tomorrow, August 20, in Saudi Arabia.
“My opinion is that Joshua will try to work as the first number in the first half of the fight, he will attack more and try to knock out Usyk to the equator,” Vyacheslav suggested in an interview with vRINGe. – Usyk, on the contrary, will move a lot and work in the counterattack, forcing Joshua to make mistakes. In the second half of the fight, Usyk will start to pick up the pace and eventually, I think, he will finish the fight ahead of schedule in the later rounds.
