The former world heavyweight champion chose someone from whom he heard respect.
Anthony Joshua chose who to root for in the fight for the title of absolute world champion. We remind you that this match must take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. Alexander Usik and Tyson Fury will enter the ring.
Strangely, the former world heavyweight champion will not support his compatriot in the fight. According to Joshua, he heard a lot of dirt about him from Fury, and therefore will join the Ukrainian team.
“I don’t know who will win, but I’m on Usyk’s team anyway. It’s out of respect, but Fury also said a lot of bad things about me.
I will never support anyone who disrespects me. It drives me crazy, even though I’m pretty level-headed. So I will choose the person who respects me more,” Joshua said in an interview with TNT Sports Boxing.
We remind you that a famous British coach gave his forecast for the match between Usik and Fury.
