Anthony JOshua thinks Oleksandr Usyk has what it takes to beat Tyson Fury in a rematch

Written by: Sean Crose

He became the unified world heavyweight champion and remains one of the biggest names in the sport of wrestling. In other words, when Anthony Joshua speaks, people listen. This is especially true when it comes to Tyson Fury and undefeated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua has lost twice to Usyk, after all – and a potential fight between him and Fury has been talked about forever. Now that Usyk and Fury are fighting again in December after Usyk won their first fight via split decision, Joshua has second thoughts.

“I think it’s going to be a tough fight early on,” Joshua continued Queensbury Promotions“then I feel that Usyk will finish it again.” Although he has lost twice to Usyk, Joshua respects his former foe. “He’s a class act,” Joshua said of Usyk, “and I feel like Usyk is one of the best out there. That’s why I think he will win.” There is no denying that Usyk is, in fact, an extraordinary fighter. Joshua is no slouch, and the Ukrainian managed to dominate him twice. And, of course, there was Usyk’s first fight against Fury, in which Usyk won by split decision.

As for Joshua himself, he has a fight with Daniel Dubois for Dubois’ IBF heavyweight title. That name was Joshua’s, no doubt he didn’t care to return it.
