Former four-division world champion and recently retired Mikey Garcia watches British heavyweight Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) prepare for his upcoming rematch against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), which is scheduled for August 20 in Saudi Arabia. Arabia.
Recall that Joshua is preparing for the second fight, including under the guidance of Robert Garcia, Mikey’s older brother.
“My father and I (also coach Eduardo Garcia, approx. WMMAA) watched Joshua training and shared their opinions with him. He listened to us carefully, as did Robert. We all have a good feeling before the fight,” Mikey said in an interview with
FightHype. – In my opinion, Anthony has everything to win. I don’t take anything from Usyk, who won the first fight. No “oh shit, this should be an easy fight”, nothing like that. But when you look at what Joshua comes into the ring with… He has what it takes to beat a fighter like Usyk. I think he should win. And it should be a good fight.”
Meanwhile, the Brit’s sparring partner thinks it’s stupid to bet against Joshua again.
