British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) will not be able to take revenge on Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and regain the WBA, IBF and WBO championship titles, which he lost in September 2021, because he does not have the skill level to do it. About it
declared In an interview with Garrett Davis, WBC champion Tyson Fury.
He first recalled that in the heavyweights, “one hit is enough.”
“That time was not a one-sided fight. Not totally in favor of Usyk. He came out of it with a bunch of marks on his face, slashed. So Joshua can definitely hit him with something heavy,” Fury said. – But! I think Usyk is too handsome to miss this. Too smart and fast for Joshua. And a lefty.”
The Briton believes that coach Robert Garcia, who is going to make an aggressive fighter out of Anthony, will only make things worse.
“He will only make sure that Usyk hits Joshua more often. So I don’t see [как побеждает Джошуа]. On the other hand, what do I know there … Well, I’m ignorant about boxing. Anyone can win in the ring. Joshua has a good chance to beat Usyk right now, when he has been at war for a long time, 18 months or so … ”, Fury said strangely, but we will forgive him such considerations.
Fury doesn’t believe in Joshua rematch
Tyson reiterated that Usyk is “too good a boxer for AJ” and he doesn’t think Joshua has the skill to push him for 12 rounds, drag him into a fight and eventually knock him out.
“For this you need to be an elite. And I don’t think that Joshua has this will to win, ”the WBC champion emphasized.
