Former world super middleweight champion Carl Froch has warned Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) that another loss to Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) could mean the end of his career. The Briton was outboxed in the fall of 2021, and any plans for his future career could be thwarted if he does not take revenge on the night of August 21.
“He’s still a big heavyweight that people want to watch fight,” Carl admitted. – But from the point of view of professional boxing, losing in a row to the same guy can mean the end of a career. Well, what can you think of after two defeats?
“He had a rematch with Ruiz, which was just a gift from Joshua: Andy ended up overweight and AJ just ran and held on and did what he had to do to win. It didn’t prove anything to me at all in the sense that he was able to go out and fight someone like Tyson Fury, ”says
Express skeptic Froch.

Next, Carl recalled, Joshua fought Kubrat Pulev, the “old man.”
“He fell when he was exhausted. AJ got him in the third round and couldn’t finish him off. And so it went on for another four or five rounds,” said countryman Joshua. – So what did we see this after losing to Ruiz? The rematch meant nothing, grandfather Pulev fell, and then we watched Usyk declassify Anthony and almost knead in the last round. ‘Cause it won’t be unfair to say it’s [поражение в реванше] could be the end of his career. It all depends on him and how badly he wants something.”
Previously, Karl had already released a catchphrase that in order to defeat Usyk Joshua “you need a brain transplant.”
