David Haye believes in the victory of the British boxer in a rematch with the Ukrainian.
Former world champion David Haye shares his memories of the first fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
According to the British boxer, Joshua was the worst because he did not show his strength.
“In the first fight, I confidently bet on him, and I will do it now. Then he didn’t fight the way I thought. I think even then he would have the highest chance to win. He probably used the worst tactics against southpaw. Anthony gave him distance, very respectful in close. The referee didn’t warn him about the possible deduction of points, because Joshua never leaned on Usyk. I think he reviewed the fight and knows what to do.”

Haye spoke about Joshua’s partnership with new coach Robert Garcia.
“He has a good team that will let him know that this is not a boxing match, that it should be a dogfight from the starting bell. It is necessary to be close to deducting points or disqualification, use his physicality, because in this regard there is no other weight like this “, – quoted the words of the British Mirror.
It will be remembered that the rematch between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) at the Super Dome arena.
In the first fight, which took place in September 2021, Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision, winning the championship belt.
