The Ukrainian boxer spoke about his expectations from the rematch in Saudi Arabia with the British.
Tyson Fury cannot resist the opportunity to fight for the title of absolute world champion, and therefore he will definitely enter the ring against the winner of the Usyk-Joshua fight.
The Ukrainian WBO/WBA/IBF world champion himself spoke about this in an interview with Parimatch UK. At the same time, Usyk expects a difficult second fight against Anthony Joshua, although he admitted that he could win the first fight ahead of schedule.
“It’s quite possible that if that 12th round had lasted 30 seconds, Joshua probably would have lost by knockout. But, honestly, I don’t think so. And what’s the point of talking about what everything happened, we went 12 rounds and I won.
Joshua is a powerful man, a strong boxer. In any case it should be written. The rematch will be different. He prepares differently, I prepare differently.
I think that when my rematch with Joshua takes place, Fury will not turn down the opportunity to unify all the belts in his hands. God willing, everything will happen,” said Usyk.
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.
Previously, Usyk showed how he is preparing for a rematch with Joshua.
