Aamir Ali spoke about the Ukrainian’s preparation for the rematch against the British boxer.
Oleksandr Usyk continues to intensively prepare for a rematch with Anthony Joshua and is in incredible shape. This was stated in an interview with Sky Sports by the manager of the Kazakh boxer Nursultan Amanzhalov, who was assisting the Ukrainian in the training camp.
According to Aamir Ali, most of the sparring partners could not keep up with Usyk’s pace and left training. Alexander also asked not to hold back, but to work against him with full force.
“Nursultan told me that Usyk was in incredible shape. A lot of heavyweights were sent home because they didn’t spar throughout the training camp. Usyk was focused on the fight.
One day, Alexander returned from a press tour in Saudi Arabia, he immediately called Nursultan and told her to go to the sparring room. Usyk is grumpy, furious and wants to fight. Joshua must have had a hard time.
Nursultan told me that Usyk kept asking to hit harder, not to hold back and fix the sparring cut. He is very dangerous, ”Ali said.
It will be recalled that the Usyk-Joshua rematch will take place in a month, on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. The boxers will meet at the Super Dome in Jeddah. In September 2021, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by unanimous decision, winning the championship belts.
