Andre Ward: Usyk’s IQ was too high for Joshua

Ukrainian boxer deprived the Briton of his trump cards

Former world champion in two weight categories Andre Ward explained why Anthony Joshua lost in a rematch Oleksandr Usyk.

“Usyk is too smart for Joshua. His IQ was too high for Joshua. That being said, I don’t have any disrespect for Joshua, I still respect his accomplishments in amateur and professional alike.”

“Joshua is just not capable of looking like an iconic fighter against some guys. If you don’t work on yourself, you don’t develop. He has a great right arm that goes off like a rocket, but if you take it away, drag him into the later rounds and make him think, then you will see psychological fatigue.

Recall that Usyk defeated Joshua in a rematch by a split decision and defended his WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight titles.

Joshua stressed that the second defeat from the Ukrainian will make him stronger. At the same time, Anthony also wished Usyk success in his future career.
