Former world heavyweight champion, boxing analyst on British television Johnny Nelson does not believe that his compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) has a deplorable chance of winning a future rematch against Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs).
However, Joshua just won’t be there, and he can’t do without changes, the specialist is sure.
“I think it’s a tough fight (for Joshua), harder than the rematch with Ruiz was,” says Nelson. “It’s not an impossible task, but I’ve been watching Usyk from the very beginning of his professional career and already said that this young man is the presumptive heir (to the heavyweight throne).”
“The problem is that when everyone already knows who you are and what you are capable of, they can make a plan (how to beat you). And now Anthony has to change tactics, change style, change intentions on what he wants to do and how he is going to approach the fight. I don’t know what tactics he will eventually choose, I’m just saying that for Joshua it will be a difficult task, but not an impossible task, ”said Johnny.
Recall that in September last year, Usyk defeated Joshua in England on points, capturing the WBA / WBO / IBF world heavyweight titles. The rematch is tentatively scheduled for July 23.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua described Usyk and talked about the Klitschko idol.
