Eddie Hearn fears the consequences of a possible second defeat of the British boxer from Ukrainian.
Anthony Joshua will have to beat Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch, otherwise it could be detrimental to his career. This is what British boxer promoter Eddie Hearn said.
Moreover, according to the functionary, it is necessary to defeat an opponent in the ring by knockout.
“Joshua has been with a new coach since December, he has an active training camp going on. Anthony is in incredible shape, confident in himself. People say Joshua shouldn’t fight Usyk in the second time, but it was only the fight that Anthony was interested in.
He needs to win for his career. You really need a win, and you’re going to have to do it by knockout, ”Boxingnews24 told Hearn.
It will be recalled that the rematch of Alexander Usik and Anthony Joshua is set for August 20 this year in Saudi Arabia.
