Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) from Great Britain again entered the ring along with WBA / WBO / IBF title holder Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs). It happened long before the date of their revenge – August 20, but all in the same Saudi Arabia.
The organizers of the show and the streaming platform DAZN forced the fighters to strip (not completely!) And get into the open-air ring in Jeddah for promotional shots.
It turned out well, we think. Hefty Joshua still hung over the relatively small Usyk, but Alexander at some point “danced” away from the advancing Briton, as if warning that such cat and mouse were waiting for a formidable opponent in revenge.
On June 22, former heavyweight champion Wilder preferred the Ukrainian in a rematch with Joshua.

And Joshua after the photo shoot met a compatriot – Naseem “Prince” Hamed:

A native of Simferopol (Ukraine), we recall, won the first fight in September 2021: he visually easily outboxed Anthony in England.
The day before yesterday, Usyk and Joshua staged a tough duel of views. The Briton decided that this time he needed to score on boxing – he was going to “simplify” with Usyk. But the British coach does not believe in his compatriot Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs)
