Ukrainian WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) spoke about the difference between the first and second fight against Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs), and admitted expecting a tough rematch.
Recall that in September last year, Usyk defeated Joshua on points in England, and a rematch is scheduled for August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
“The difference is that this time I will have my championship belts with me. I will enter the ring second, and people will be waiting for me, ”said Usyk. “At the same time, entering the ring as a champion, I don’t have the feeling that this time it will be easier for me. I understand that I have to do my job properly and that this will not be an easy task for me.”
Usyk’s promoter predicts that he will have to go through hell.
