Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) seems to have set out to at least somehow surpass the offender in two fights Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) – and organized an attempt to break his five-hour marathon record for track in the Olympic pool.
There is no other way to interpret the fragment of the video posted by the British from their press conference before the rematch, which said that Usyk swam 10 km for 5 hours, and a photo from Snapchat with a pool and the caption “You know, I love challenges.”
Before the rematch, Usyk looked in incredible shape, and Derek Chisora once mentioned that the Ukrainian swam five-hour marathons and trained three times a day to prepare for the second fight with Joshua.

In September 2021, Usyk declassified Joshua and nearly scored a stoppage. Almost a year later, Anthony also lost on points, but already more competitive.
