Former indisputable heavyweight champion Mike Tyson warns former heavyweight treble winner Anthony Joshua, who Tyson believes is not fit to fight Usik immediately because Joshua doesn't seem ready for the skilled left-hander.
So if Joshua forcibly takes revenge, does it mean losing again?
Tyson said on his podcast: "If it were me, I wouldn't be fighting Usik right away unless I could easily beat those left-hander sparring partners in real combat." I think Usik is really hard to deal with and the way to play is very clever. Joshua wasn't ready for how to face Usik. ”
Some boxing fans and experts believe that the 32-year-old Joshua did not take advantage of his age or his physical strength. But Tyson, who is about to turn 56, thinks that body size doesn't make much sense.
Tyson said: "Body size makes no sense. You can look at the statistics, Joshua 240 pounds, Usik 220 pounds, but you can't measure someone's will, desire, and determination. Joshua really couldn't keep up with Usik's pace, Usik was like dancing, Joshua couldn't keep up with the rhythm. I wouldn't suggest he immediately fight a second battle with Usik. ”
It is reported that Uzik has been allowed to leave Ukraine and go to Poland to prepare for a second-time war with Joshua, and Herne also said that the two may start a second-time war in June this year. Joshua has been training since the beginning of the year, even going to Dubai to find new coaches to prepare. But Joshua's state is not easy to judge.
Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of 20, and Tyson's talent is beyond doubt. Joshua is not Tyson, and of course Tyson can't give Joshua real experience in revenge, because Tyson has never won a revenge battle. Still, Tyson's warning makes sense, because Joshua's face of Uzik is really too difficult to deal with.
It was previously rumored that Joshua might choose Otto Wallin for a transitional match, but the situation is inconclusive at the moment. If Joshua does not play the transition game and directly plays Usik, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, and even slightly at a disadvantage. If Joshua loses again, his value will definitely plummet. What do you say? 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
