The trainer of the British boxer, Derek Chisora, doubted the correctness of the actions of the world champion.

The coach of the British boxer, Derek Chisora ​​​​questioned the advantage of Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch against Anthony Joshua. Dave Caldwell couldn’t understand why the world heavyweight champion put on weight and put on weight and believed it could hurt the Ukrainian in a fight.

“I understand that Usyk wants to be more aggressive and try to throw harder punches. But his two main advantages are mobility and speed. It will hit them. It will slow him down. If you lose speed, then you give more opportunities to the opponent. I think Joshua needs to focus on Usyk’s torso to grab his legs.

If you artificially gain weight and muscle mass, then because of body blows you will lose energy a little faster. We always look at Joshua and say about him: “He’s too big and too big.” So he runs out of air faster. The more times you hit him in the body, the faster he will tire. And this is not only for Joshua, but for many fighters with big muscles “, – quotes Caldwell 24boxing.com.ua.

It can be remembered that the rematch between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. The match will take place at the Super Dome in Jeddah.

In the first match, which took place in September 2021, the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by unanimous decision, winning the championship belt.

Former undefeated British boxer Joe Joyce says Oleksandr Usyk will have the upper hand in a rematch against Anthony Joshua.
