Teofimo Lopez Sr., father and trainer of former undisputed lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez, spoke about the fight between WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight title holders Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.
According to the expert, the Ukrainian boxer is the favorite in the rematch.
“My bet is on Usyk. His moves are better, his boxing style is better. Yes, he is smaller, but smaller guys always tend to win. It will be very difficult to stop Joshua because Usyk is fighting a much bigger guy . But can it happen? I think yes. Usyk can stop Joshua. Why not? If he goes into trades and shows his boxing ability, I think it will help him to win the fight. The way his boxing is what will bring Usyk to victory in this fight.”
