On the eve of revenge, the Briton talks a lot about the attitude of the fans towards him. He says that he understood the reason why he is not respected in America.
Joshua is so pissedthat he even promised to give up all championship belts: “When Anthony Joshua beats Usyk in rematch and becomes a three-time world champion, he will immediately give up all belts. You must learn to respect me as a person. I don’t want to be respected just because I have championship titles in my hands. I want you to respect the man in front of you.”
The same WBA Super, IBF, WBO titles that were lost in September will be at stake in the revenge. Meanwhile, Usyk responded to those who consider his victory over Joshua easy. His sparring partner is sure that “Alexander will knock out Anthony!”
