Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), having weighed in together with his opponent in today’s rematch Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs), was giving an interview, and at some point “got into the frame” to the head of Matchroom Promotions Eddie Hearn, the opponent’s promoter. He just commented on the channel
iFL TV.
Usyk asked – “hav and yu?”, But Eddie blunted with the answer and asked himself – “okay?”
“Yes,” Sashko answered.
“Are you sure?” Hearn asked, to which Usyk nodded, and Eddie and the interviewer laughed.
Usyk’s words after the weigh-in in Saudi Arabia
Alexander suddenly showed the head of Matchroom the ring on his left hand, to which Edward said in surprise: “Shaw again? Next? It costs a lot of money.” Usyk shrugged, and Eddie added conciliatoryly: “It’s all right.”
“How are you?” the reporter asked Usyk.
“Aim Phil,” the champion used his signature grammatically incorrect meme phrase.
There was a pause for a second or two. Suddenly Usyk laughed, patted Hearn on the back and made his feet.
“A little awkward somehow,” the promoter chuckled.
So it goes.
Recall that Usyk took the titles from Joshua in September 2021. On the night of August 21, they will have a rematch, for which we have a preview: Usyk – Joshua: Mythbusters.
