Former WBC cruiserweight champion Grigori Drozd told he would like to see a third fight between the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and British Antoine Joshua .
On Saturday in Saudi Arabia, Usyk beat Joshua by split decision and defended the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO heavyweight belts. These boxers’ first fight in the fall of 2021 ended with Usyk winning by unanimous decision. The WBC champion is the Briton Tyson Fury, who with some frequency announces his retirement.
– Very dignified. Obviously, Anthony Joshua was better prepared than the first time. He didn’t have enough hitting accuracy, if Joshua caught him at least once… He couldn’t hit accurately even once, although there were times. In general, a very beautiful and eventful fight, it is a real championship fight, which took place in one breath, and I liked it. According to my calculations, 7:5 in favor of Usyk.
– Will there be a fight between Usyk and Fury?
“I would love that. If he’s supposedly ready to come back for a fight with Derek Chisora, he can definitely be for a fight with Usyk. And I won’t be surprised by anything in this fight. Usyk is breaking patterns, “His boxing class is as high as it gets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ties Fury in the same knot as Joshua. Although Fury is a boxer of a different plane. In general, the odds are 50 out of 50. Fury is an uncomfortable boxer, he’s hard to hit.
– Would you like to see a third fight between Usyk and Joshua?
Joshua had his chance. Basically, as a viewer, I would watch another fight between them. If Joshua prepares for a fight with Usyk in this way, with this attitude he can reach such a level that he will win next time.
