Lennox Lewis, Anthony Joshua are the pride of the British heavyweight boxing, the legend of the former is self-evident, but unfortunately, for a long time, the relationship between the two is not harmonious, there have been many air confrontations, the general descendants have not shown due respect to the predecessors, and the predecessors have not given due love to the younger generations.
However, when Joshua lost to Orekorka sand-usik in a complete defeat, Lewis did not fall into the trap, but patiently advised Joshua.
Joshua was a popular candidate to defeat Usik, and he looked forward to a unified battle with Tyson Furi after the opponent was leveled, and as a result, with Usik's complete victory, Joshua had to think in the long run. Joshua was controlled almost entirely in the confrontation with Usik, spending his time waiting, being counter-attacked, and even being ridiculed by some boxing fans as "too patient".
Throughout his career, veteran boxer Lewis, who has defeated masters including Mike Tyson, Evand Hollyfield, vitaly Klitchenko and other masters, is arguably the top overlord of his time, congratulating Usik on his victory through Twitter and expressing his views on Joshua's mistakes.
Lewis tweeted: "It must be given to Usik, who put on a wonderful tactical show, which is not the end of the road for Joshua, but you can't be too tentative of the opponent, or wait until the eighth round to start, to learn from and improve from it.
Lewis then praised Usik again, saying: "It was worth it to go a long way, work hard and actively pursue his goals in the rings – amateur champion, Olympic gold medalist, undisputed sub-heavyweight boxer, and now the world heavyweight boxer." ”

At first, Joshua hopes to have an "all-England showdown" with Furi, but now he has to find out what went wrong with Uzik. In the game, Joshua entered the form a little slowly, although as the competition deepened, it was somewhat improved, but unfortunately it was not enough to contain the opponent. In the last four rounds, Usik completely dominated the game, which made him the clear winner of the competition.
Joshua said before the match that he would show enough patience with Usik, but as boxing fans put it, he was too "patient", Joshua had planned to rematch with Usik, and if he wanted to regain the golden belt, then he would have to take a more aggressive strategy in the second battle.
Joshua took revenge on Ruiz two years ago without going through any tweaking, but to get revenge on Usik, Joshua needed to develop different tactics, and Usik proved his amazing talent and skills in the game, a reality that Joshua had to face and had to solve.
