Anthony Joshua Predicts Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2

Following their epic showdown for the undisputed heavyweight title back in May, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are already scheduled to rematch this December in another huge bout in Saudi Arabia.

The Ukrainian, Usyk, became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in boxing in 25 years back when he defeated the Brit, Fury via split decision in an epic, back-and-forth encounter.

Anthony Joshua, who will want fights against both men in the future, has weighed in on the rematch between the two heavyweight superstars and has also given his prediction.

AJ has predicted the rematch between two of his former opponents

Anthony Joshua has given his opinion on the upcoming, huge rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Joshua, who on his newly found resurgence at the top of heavyweight boxing will still be looking for future opportunities to take on both Usyk and Fury, has given his prediction on who will come out victorious in the highly anticipated rematch which will take place this December in Saudi Arabia

In an interview with Queensberry Promotions, Joshua said the following:

As AJ alluded to, in the first fight between Usyk and Fury, the Brit had a lot of success in the early rounds, imposing his huge size and physicality advantage on the Ukrainian, which is something Fury failed to do in the later rounds which subsequently lost him the fight.

‘The Gypsy King’ looked to be pulling away to victory, racking up rounds mid-way through the fight, but a late comeback from Usyk which involved a huge power shot which landed perfectly on Fury’s chin in the ninth round, got him right back into the fight and led him to victory via split decision.

Also in his interview with Queensberry Promotions, Joshua labelled Usyk a “class operator” and that is why he thinks he will go 2-0 against Fury.

As of right now, Joshua is the only person to have ever faced off against Usyk in a professional bout twice, so you would imagine he knows more about him than most and his opinion and prediction holds a lot of value.

Despite in previous years, Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury being the biggest and most logical fight to make in the heavyweight division, due to typical boxing politics, the fight is still yet to happen. However, Joshua has teased that a potential fight against Fury could take place next year in London if he is successful against Daniel Dubois and Fury is victorious in his rematch against Usyk.

As Joshua admitted, his main focus is currently on his huge Wembley showdown against Daniel Dubois next month and the bout is also dependant on Fury’s success against Usyk this winter.
