Ukrainian holder of the IBF, WBO and WBA world heavyweight belts Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) is at the peak of his form before the second fight against British ex-champion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs). There is nothing left before the long-awaited return meeting – less than two weeks.
Despite one huge distraction — Russia’s attempts to destroy the Ukrainian people and state, tens of thousands of deaths and injuries at home — the native of Simferopol, Ukraine, is trying to push himself to the maximum physical and psychological shape.
We don’t know what Alexander has now in terms of the psyche, but you can plus or minus see his physical condition:
The Usyk-Joshua rematch will take place on August 20 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
In the first fight, the Ukrainian “unwound” Anthony, but the British expert says Usyk allegedly did not fight the real Joshua. He is echoed by the British promoter Eddie Hearn, who believes that Joshua will knock out Usyk.
