Athletistic/ Boxing. Gennady Mashyanov, trainer of Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol, believes Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has a clear advantage over Britain’s Anthony Joshua.

“Anthony is technically much poorer than Alexander. If we take this criterion, Sasha should win. Considering the technical equipment, I would give the advantage to Usyk. Joshua is tall, a bit clumsy, he has no flexibility, softness and plasticity. Enough to expand the technical arsenal. But you can win with this arsenal if you box in a different way”, Noted Mash’yanov.

The fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will take place on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Previously, the boxers have already met: on September 25, 2021 in London, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision.
