WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) shares his memories of his first fight with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).
According to the Ukrainian boxer, it was a very difficult fight for him, as well as for the British.
“It was a very difficult fight for me. Everyone kept saying it was a cakewalk, but it really wasn’t. It was a difficult fight for him and me. After the fight, I went back to the hotel, there was some refreshments and fell asleep in the chair,” Boxing Scene quoted Usyk as saying.
