Former world champion Khan: Usyk gained 15 kg, but this will not stop him

The second fight between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Saudi Arabia

Former world welterweight champion Amir Khan commented on the upcoming rematch between the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.

“He [Усик] says he has gained weight. He gained 15 kg after the last fight. He’s much bigger, but Usyk looks strong.”

“Weight will not slow him down. He is very fast, he has great footwork. He is very technical, his boxing IQ is the best I think. And how accurate he is is what helps him win fights.”

“You can’t beat Usyk when it comes down to tactics, technique or boxing skills. Joshua will make a mistake if he tries to fight him again.”

In Ukraine, the broadcast of the Usyk-Joshua rematch will be hosted by the MEGOGO media service. The broadcast will be free for viewers in Ukraine. The screening will also be available on the regional channels of “Suspilny” and on Usyk’s YouTube channel – Usyk17.

The second fight between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. Last fall, the Ukrainian defeated Anthony by unanimous decision and became the world heavyweight champion for the first time.
