The American has no doubt that the Ukrainian champion will defend his titles.
Legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya shares his opinion on the rematch between WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Alexander Usyk and Anthony Joshua.
According to the star boxer, the Ukrainian will win again.
“I’m a boxer who changed trainers eight times. It always took me 3-4 fights to adjust. Honestly, it seems to me that Usyk will beat Joshua more easily the second time.”

Oscar De La Hoya noticed the courage and character of the Ukrainian boxer.
“Usyk has a more developed killer instinct. If Alexander is knocked down, he will get up and knock you out thanks to his courage. And it’s not about courage, because every fighter who enters the ring has it. But it’s it’s like toughness, but in general – it’s eggs. That’s what it is. Of course, both guys have eggs, but I think Alexander uses them more,” said De La Hoya in an interview on YouTube channel Fight Hub TV
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. It should be noted that today, August 17, a press conference of boxers will be held, which will be available on ISPORT.ua starting at 16:00 Kyiv time.
